Word origin
The word 'restate' originated from the combination of the prefix 're-' meaning 'again' and the word 'state,' which comes from the Latin 'status' meaning 'condition, circumstance.' Therefore, 'restate' essentially means to state something again or differently. The term has been in use since the late 16th century.
