reassessment
UK: ˌriːəˈsesmənt | US: ˌriːəˈsesmənt
n. the act of evaluating or examining something again, typically to adjust or update a previous judgment.
reassessment = re<again> + assess<evaluate> + ment<noun suffix>
- re: Prefix meaning "again" (from Latin re-).
- assess: Root meaning "to evaluate" (from Latin assessus, past participle of assidēre, "to sit beside, assist in judgment").
- ment: Suffix forming nouns indicating an action or process (from Latin -mentum).
Etymology Origin:
The word "reassessment" combines the iterative force of re- with assess, rooted in the Latin idea of sitting beside (as in a judge's deliberation). The suffix -ment solidifies it as a noun. Originally tied to fiscal or legal evaluation, it now broadly applies to any reevaluation process.
