UK: ˌriːˈvæmp | US: ˌriːˈvæmp
vt. to renovate or improve something by giving it a new appearance or structure

The word "revamp" combines the prefix "re-" (meaning "again") with the verb "vamp," which originally referred to repairing or refurbishing shoes (from Old French "avantpié," meaning "front of the foot"). By the 19th century, "vamp" extended metaphorically to mean patching up anything, and "revamp" emerged to emphasize renewal or modernization. The logic reflects a literal "re-doing" of repairs or upgrades.
