Etymology: Republicizing is the present participle of "republicize," and its history runs along two routes. One goes through "republic," from Latin "res publica," meaning "public affair" or "public thing," with the suffix "-ize" turning the noun into a verb about making something into that. The other route, which fits the sense here, starts with "publicize," itself built from "public" plus "-ize." Adding the prefix "re-," meaning "again," produces the idea of publicizing something once more. The modern meaning of reviving an old article or announcement for new readers follows directly from that prefix.
