Etymology of REORIENTATE

The word "reorientate" is derived from the combination of two words: "re-" and "orientate".

The word "orientate" is a variant of "orient" and dates back to the early 18th century. "Orient" initially referred to the east, the direction where the sun rises, and comes from the Old French word "orient" meaning "the east". This Old French word ultimately stems from the Latin word "oriens", which also means "rising" or "the east".

The prefix "re-" in "reorientate" indicates repetition or repetition of an action, in this case, the act of orientating. Therefore, "reorientate" means to orient or direct something or someone again or in a different direction.
