Etymology: "Revisited" is the past participle of "revisit," which came into English from Middle French "revisiter," itself drawn from the Latin "revīsitāre," a frequentative of "revidēre" meaning "to see again" or "to go to see again." The Latin stem combines "re-," meaning "again," with "visitāre," "to visit," which in turn is a frequentative of "vidēre," "to see." So at its root the word has always been about seeing something a second time, and "visit" itself carried the sense of going to look at something or someone. The English verb "revisit" appeared in Middle English as "revisite," and it kept its original sense of going back to a place or person. The figurative use, returning to a subject or an idea to examine it afresh, grew out of that literal sense of going back to see something again.
