Etymology: This is an inflected form, so it is the past tense and past participle of "reinvent," which is formed from the prefix "re-" (again, anew) attached to "invent." "Invent" comes from Latin "invenire," meaning "to come upon" or "find," and so the core idea is discovery rather than making something from nothing. Adding "re-" yields a sense of finding or creating something anew, which is why the verb now suggests starting over with an established thing and giving it a fresh form.

Synonyms: revamped, revised, transformed, modernized, redefined

Antonyms: stagnated, maintained, preserved, conserved, continued
