Etymology: "Relisted" is the past tense and past participle of "relist," which means to put back on a list something that had been removed from it. The verb is a simple combination of "re-," meaning again, and "list," so the sense is literally "to list again." Its roots run back through Latin and Old French, where "re-" was an ordinary prefix of repetition, while "list" passed through Medieval Latin "lista" and Old French "liste" before reaching English. The word is a straightforward formation rather than a dramatic story, and its meaning follows its parts closely. Its most common modern use is in contexts such as a stock exchange, a list of accepted papers, or a catalogue of products, where something taken off the list is later put back on it.
