Etymology
The term 'rescrub' is derived from the prefix 're-', which means 'again' or 'back,' combined with the verb 'scrub,' which has its origins in Middle English 'scrubbien,' meaning to rub or scrub vigorously. The verb 'scrub' can be traced back to the Old English word 'scrūban,' meaning to scrape or rub off. As cleaning practices and hygiene standards evolved, particularly during the 20th century, the necessity for thorough cleaning and the emergence of industrial cleaning methods led to the adoption of terms like 'rescrub' in various sectors, including healthcare, food service, and manufacturing.
