Etymology: "Revised" is the past tense and past participle of "revise," so its history belongs to that verb. "Revise" was borrowed from Middle French "réviser," which in turn came from Latin "revīsō." The Latin verb combined "re-," meaning "again," with "vīsō," meaning "examine," and "vīsō" is itself a frequentative form of "videō," "see." A frequentative verb expresses repeated or intensive action, so the core sense is looking at something again and again. That original sense of careful re-examination is still visible in the modern meaning. To revise something is to look over it once more in order to correct or improve it, so the word has kept its Latin idea of seeing something a second time. The English verb carries that idea into everything from editing a manuscript to adjusting a plan.
