Etymology
The term 'reorienting' is derived from the prefix 're-', meaning 'again' or 'back', and the base word 'orient', which historically comes from the Latin word 'orientare', meaning 'to rise' or 'to place in a specific direction'. The term 'orient' itself originally referred to the eastern direction, where the sun rises. 'Reorienting' thus conveys the concept of adjusting or aligning oneself or something else in a new direction or manner, with emphasis on change and adaptability. The word has evolved in English usage to encompass a broader range of contexts, including personal development, strategic planning, and even geographical positioning.
