Etymology: "Reappraised" is the past tense and past participle of "reappraise," so its history is that of the verb itself. The base word "appraise" came into English from Old French "aprisier," meaning to set a price on something, and ultimately from Latin "pretium," price. Over time the sense broadened from pricing goods to judging their worth in general. The prefix "re-" is the Latin one meaning "again," so "reappraise" simply means to appraise a second time, to reassess something in light of new information.

Synonyms: reassessed, revalued, reexamined, reviewed, reconsidered
