Etymology: "Reimagines" is the third-person singular present form of "reimagine," meaning to imagine something again, or to imagine it differently. The verb is built from two parts: the prefix "re-," meaning again or back, and "imagine," which comes from Latin "imaginari," to picture or form an image in the mind, related to "imago," image. The prefix "re-" has a long pedigree. It descends from Latin "re-," which English took in directly and also through Old French, where it was used the same way. English speakers have attached it to verbs for centuries, so "reimagine" follows a very old pattern: take an existing action and repeat it, or redo it with a change.
