The word "revision" originates from Latin revisio, derived from revisere ("to look at again"), combining re- (indicating repetition) and visere (a frequentative form of videre, "to see"). The morpheme vis (from videre) carries the core meaning of "seeing" or "examining," while -ion nominalizes the action. Over time, "revision" evolved to emphasize the iterative process of reviewing or correcting, reflecting its logical progression from literal "re-seeing" to abstract "re-evaluating."
