Etymology: "Reworkings" is the plural of "reworking," a noun for a revised or new version of something. Its history is simply that of its parts: "rework" is "re-" (again, anew) attached to "work," and the "-ing" ending turns the verb into a noun for the act or result of doing it again. Because the verb "to rework" is built from the everyday word "work" in exactly this way, the plural adds no new layer of meaning, only the sense of several such revisions at once.

Synonyms: revisions, modifications
