Etymology

The word "restructure" combines the Latin prefix re- (meaning "again") with the root struct (from Latin struere, "to build"), and the suffix -ure (indicating an action or process). The term emerged in the mid-19th century, reflecting the idea of "rebuilding" or reorganizing systems, organizations, or frameworks. The logic is straightforward: re- implies repetition, while struct anchors the concept in construction or arrangement, making "restructure" literally "to build again."
