REDISCOVER Meaning and
Definition
-
Rediscover is a verb that refers to the act of finding or encountering something again, typically after a period of being forgotten, lost, or ignored. It involves bringing back to light or rekindling one's awareness, familiarity, or appreciation for something previously known or experienced.
When a person rediscover something, they often experience a sense of renewed interest, excitement, or joy. It can involve reconnecting with a past interest, hobby, or passion that was temporarily abandoned or neglected. For example, someone may rediscover their love for painting after years of not picking up a brush.
Rediscovering can also involve uncovering forgotten knowledge or information by revisiting it with a fresh perspective. It may happen when one stumbles upon or intentionally seeks out something they were once familiar with but have since disregarded. This could be a forgotten book, a long-lost photograph, or a favorite childhood memory.
Moreover, rediscovering can happen on both an individual and collective level. It may pertain to an individual finding a personal sense of purpose, identity, or connection that had been buried or overlooked. On a societal scale, rediscovery can refer to a culture, community, or society recognizing and appreciating aspects of their history, heritage, or traditions that had been previously neglected or marginalized.
In essence, to rediscover is to encounter or find something anew, often resulting in a revitalization of interest, appreciation, or understanding.

Etymology of REDISCOVER
The word "rediscover" is a combination of two elements: "re-" and "discover".
The prefix "re-" in Latin means "again" or "back", indicating repetition or reversal. It is commonly used in English to suggest a return to a previous state or repetition of an action.
The root word "discover" comes from the Latin word "discooperire", which is derived from "dis-" (meaning "apart" or "uncover") and "coopĕrio" (meaning "to cover"). It originally meant "to uncover" or "to reveal something hidden or unknown". Eventually, it took on the sense of finding or learning something new, especially through exploration or investigation.
Therefore, "rediscover" combines the Latin prefix "re-" (meaning "again" or "back") and the root word "discover" (meaning "uncover" or "find something new").
