Etymology: "Rehirings" is simply the plural of "rehiring," the noun form of "rehire." The word is built from the prefix "re-," meaning "again," attached to "hire," which goes back to Old English "hyrian," meaning to employ someone for wages or to let something out for payment. Put together, a rehiring is the act of hiring someone a second time, so a single plural form like this one naturally covers multiple separate occasions when former staff return to their jobs.
