REVICTUAL Meaning and Definition

1. Revictual, a verb derived from the prefix "re-" and the noun "victual," refers to the act of resupplying or restocking provisions, especially food and drink, for a particular purpose or group of individuals. Specifically, it involves supplying provisions to ensure sustenance, renewal, or the continuation of supplies in circumstances where the previous provisions have been exhausted, diminished, or require replenishment.

   The term can be used in both literal and figurative contexts. In a literal sense, it may denote the act of restocking provisions for a military force, a ship, an expedition, or any other group that relies on a steady supply of sustenance. Historically, revictualing was crucial during long voyages, sieges, or military campaigns to maintain the well-being and efficiency of the personnel involved.

   In a figurative sense, revictual can also describe the process of replenishing or renewing any resources, support, or necessities required for the continuation or survival of an activity, organization, or individual. This could encompass restocking supplies in a hospital, resupplying a remote community with essential goods, or even renewing the financial resources of a charity or business to ensure its longevity.

   Revictual, therefore, encapsulates the notion of providing essential sustenance or replenishment to ensure the continuation or revival of various endeavors, whether physical, metaphorical, or symbolic.

2. To furnish with provisions anew.

Etymology of REVICTUAL

The word revictual is a combination of two roots: re- and victual.

The prefix re- in English is derived from Latin and means again or back. It is used to indicate repetition or restoration.

The word victual (pronounced vittle) comes from the Old French vitaille, meaning provisions or food. This, in turn, originated from the Latin word victualia, meaning provisions or victuals.

Therefore, revictual combines the prefix re- and the noun victual to form a verb meaning to supply with provisions again or to restock with food.
