Etymology

The word 'retest' originated from the combination of the prefix 're-' meaning 'again' and the word 'test', which comes from the Latin word 'testum' meaning 'earthen pot'. Over time, 'retest' has evolved to refer to the action of taking a test or examination again, typically after a previous failure. The concept of retesting is commonly used in educational settings to provide students with a second chance to demonstrate their knowledge and skills.
