renewed
UK: rɪˈnjuːd | US: rɪˈnuːd
adj. 1. restored or replenished to a fresh condition
adj. 2. revived or reinvigorated
vt. 3. (past tense of "renew") to make something like new again
The word "renewed" combines the prefix "re-" (from Latin, meaning "again") with the root "new" (from Old English "nīwe," meaning fresh or recent), and the suffix "-ed" indicating past tense or adjective form. The logic traces back to the idea of "making fresh again," reflecting a cyclical restoration. Historically, "renew" emerged in Middle English (14th century) from Old French "renoveler," itself derived from Latin "renovare" (re- + novare, "to make new"). The addition of "-ed" later standardized its adjectival and past-tense usage.
