Etymology
The word 'rerouting' is derived from the verb 'route', which originated from Middle English 'ruten', meaning 'to direct or manage'. The prefix 're-' means 'again' or 'back', and when combined with 'route', it creates the concept of directing or managing again. The term 'rerouting' gained popularity with the advancement of transportation systems and the need to adjust journeys due to unforeseen circumstances.
