Etymology
'anti-rehabilitation' originates from the prefix 'anti-' meaning 'against' and the word 'rehabilitation,' which comes from Latin 'rehabilitare,' meaning 'to restore to a former state.'
'rehabilitare' transformed into the English word 'rehabilitation,' and the prefix 'anti-' was added to form 'anti-rehabilitation.'
Initially, 'rehabilitation' meant 'to restore to a former state,' and 'anti-rehabilitation' evolved to mean 'opposition to such restoration.'
