Etymology

The term 'restyled' originates from the prefix 're-' which means 'again' or 'back,' combined with 'style,' deriving from the Latin word 'stilis,' meaning 'sword' but later evolving to mean 'mode' or 'manner' which indicates a characteristic way of doing something. The evolution of the word 'style' can be traced back to the late 14th century and originally referred to a mode of expression in speech or writing, eventually encompassing visual design. Through time, with the rise of fashion and design industries, the term has become synonymous with updating and refreshing various forms of aesthetic expressions including clothing, graphic designs, automobiles, and interior spaces. Consequently, 'restyled' became popular in the late 20th century as cultural and technological advancements encouraged constant change in style and fashion.
