Word origin
The word 'restart' is a combination of the prefix 're-' meaning 'again' and the verb 'start'. It originated in the late 20th century with the rise of computers and technology, referring to the action of starting something again. The concept of restarting has since been widely adopted in various contexts beyond just computers, symbolizing a fresh beginning or a new attempt after a pause or failure.
