redesigned

the word 'redesigned' is a modern english formation built upon the verb 'design'. 'design' itself entered english from latin 'designare', meaning "to mark out, delineate, or devise," which is a compound of 'de-' (down, out) and 'signare' (to mark). the prefix 're-', of latin origin, is one of the most productive in english, attaching to verbs to indicate repetition or a return to a previous state. when combined, 're-' + 'design' literally means "to design again." the suffix '-ed', from old english, completes the word, indicating the action is completed, forming both the past tense verb and the participial adjective. thus, the logical journey is from the literal act of marking something out again to the modern abstract sense of planning or creating something anew for improvement.

Structure: re (again) + design (plan, conceive) + ed (past/participle suffix) re: latin origin, a prefix meaning "again" or "back". design: latin origin, from 'designare' meaning "to mark out, devise". ed: old english origin, a suffix used to form the past tense and past participle of verbs, or adjectives from verbs.
