Etymology

The word "rebuilding" combines the prefix "re-" (from Latin, meaning "again") with the root "build" (from Old English "byldan," meaning "to construct") and the suffix "-ing" (indicating a continuous action or result). The term reflects the idea of repetition and renewal in construction, evolving from literal physical reconstruction to metaphorical applications (e.g., rebuilding trust).
