The word "review" originates from Middle French revoir ("to see again"), derived from Latin re- (meaning "again") + vidēre ("to see"). The term evolved in English to signify both the act of re-examining something and the written critique of works like books or films. The logic is straightforward: to "review" is literally to "see again," whether for evaluation or reflection.
