Etymology
'recover' originates from Old French, specifically the word 'recovrer,' where 're-' meant 'again' and 'covrir' meant 'to cover.'
'recovrer' transformed into the Middle English word 'recoveren,' and eventually became the modern English word 'recover.'
Initially, it meant 'to cover again,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to regain possession or control of something.'
