Etymology: "Reevaluated" is simply the past tense and past participle of "reevaluate," which is "re-" ("again") joined to "evaluate." The base word "evaluate" was formed in the 1800s in English from the noun "evaluation," which in turn came from the French "évaluation," built on "évaluer," meaning "to value." That French verb combines "é-" (from Latin "ex-," "out") with "value," tracing back through Old French to Latin "valere," "to be strong, be worth." The hyphenated "re-evaluate" appeared in print in the early 20th century, and the unhyphenated "reevaluate" has become the more common spelling in modern dictionaries and usage. The verb is a plain English formation, so there is no dramatic shift in meaning: it keeps the sense of judging worth, with "re-" adding the idea of doing it again.
