Etymology
'relaunch' originates from the prefix 're-' meaning 'again' and the word 'launch' from Middle English 'launchen', which meant 'to set in motion'.
'launch' changed from the Middle English word 'launchen' and eventually became the modern English word 'launch'.
Initially, 'launch' meant 'to set in motion', but over time it evolved to include the idea of starting something new, which is retained in 'relaunch'.
