Etymology: "Revisits" is simply the third-person singular form of the verb "revisit," so its history is that of the verb itself. "Revisit" was formed from "re-" meaning "again" and "visit," which in turn came from Latin "visitare," a frequentative of "videre," "to see," so the core idea is repeated looking or going back to see something once more. The verb reached English in Middle English from Middle French "revisiter," which took it from Latin "revisitare," "to visit again." Its literal sense was simply a second trip to a place, and the extended sense of returning mentally to a subject or a piece of work developed later, which is why the word now covers both physical travel and renewed study of an idea.
