Word origin
The word 'retake' originated from the combination of 're-' meaning 'again' and 'take'. It first appeared in the mid-16th century, primarily used in the context of taking an examination again. Over time, it has also been adopted in photography to refer to capturing an image once more. The term has since become widely accepted in both academic and visual arts fields.
