Etymology
The term 'reseed' is derived from the combination of the prefix 're-', meaning 'again', and 'seed', which comes from Old English 'sēod' meaning 'to sow'. The use of 're-' indicates the repetition of the action of sowing or planting. Though the concept of reseeding crops is ancient, the formal use of the term in English began to appear more prominently in agricultural texts in the 19th century. Over time, as gardening and agriculture evolved with more emphasis on turf management and sustaining plant health, the practice of reseeding became recognized as an essential technique for both professional farmers and home gardeners alike. The increase in suburban lawns and the popularization of landscaping in the 20th century further highlighted the need for such gardening practices, thus embedding reseeding into common horticultural vocabulary.
