Etymology
're-evaluation' originates from the prefix 're-' meaning 'again' and the word 'evaluation' from Latin 'evaluare', where 'e-' meant 'out' and 'valere' meant 'to be strong or worth'.
'evaluation' changed from the Latin word 'evaluare' and eventually became the modern English word 'evaluation'.
Initially, it meant 'to assess the value or worth of something', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'assessing or appraising something again'.
