Etymology: "Reescorted" is formed from "escort" with the prefix "re-", meaning "again" or "back again." It is a regular, transparent formation rather than a word with a dramatic history. "Escort" itself entered English in the 1600s from French "escorte," borrowed from Italian "scorta," meaning "a guide" or "a convoy," and ultimately from "scorgere," "to conduct or guide." The English verb "escort" developed from that noun, and the prefix "re-," from Latin "re-" meaning "back" or "again," was attached to it to form "reescort." Because "re-" is productive in English, the word can be formed freely wherever someone is led back to a place after being escorted away.
