'reevaluate' originates from the prefix 're-' meaning 'again' and the word 'evaluate' from Latin 'evaluare', where 'e-' meant 'out' and 'valere' meant 'to be strong or worth'.

'evaluate' transformed from the Latin word 'evaluare' and eventually became the modern English word 'evaluate', with 're-' added to form 'reevaluate'.

Initially, it meant 'to assess the value or worth of something again', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
