reinvention
UK: ˌriːɪnˈvɛnʃən | US: ˌriːɪnˈvɛnʃən
n. the act of reinventing; the process of creating something anew or significantly altering its form, purpose, or identity.
The word "reinvention" combines the prefix "re-" (from Latin, meaning "again") with the root "invent" (from Latin "invenire," meaning "to find or create") and the suffix "-ion" (a noun-forming suffix indicating action or process). The term reflects the idea of recreating or reimagining something, often to adapt to new circumstances or improve upon the original. Historically, "invent" originally referred to discovering or devising, but over time, it shifted to emphasize creation. "Reinvention" thus carries a narrative of renewal and transformation.
