Etymology

The word 'restudy' is a compound of the prefix 're-' and the word 'study'. The prefix 're-' comes from Latin, meaning 'again' or 'back', indicating repetition. 'Study' traces its roots to the Latin verb 'studere', which means 'to be eager' or 'to apply oneself'. It has evolved over time to encompass various forms of learning and comprehension activities. The combination of these elements formed 'restudy', reflecting the action of engaging in studying once more. The term highlights the importance of repetition in learning processes, as repeated exposure to information often leads to greater retention and mastery.
