Etymology
The term 'reshipment' is derived from the prefix 're-', which indicates repetition, and the word 'shipment', which comes from the Old English 'sceipman', meaning to transport goods or conveyance of cargo. Its use can be traced back to the late 20th century when global trade became more prominent and complex shipping processes emerged. As businesses began to expand their reach worldwide, the need for efficient logistics and the ability to manage returns and exchanges gave rise to the term 'reshipment'. This reflects the evolving nature of supply chains in a globalized economy, emphasizing the importance of flexibility in shipping practices.
