Etymology
'pro-rehabilitation' originates from the prefix 'pro-' meaning 'in favor of' 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 'pro-' was added to form 'pro-rehabilitation.'
Initially, 'rehabilitation' meant 'restoring to a former state,' and 'pro-rehabilitation' evolved to mean 'supporting the process of rehabilitation.'
