REAPPOINT Meaning and Definition

1. Reappoint is a transitive verb that refers to the act of selecting or appointing an individual to a particular position, role, or job once again, after having previously held that position. When someone is reappointed, they are being given the opportunity to continue their service or work in a specific capacity for an additional term or period. This term is commonly used in various contexts, including government, businesses, organizations, institutions, and other fields where appointments and positions of authority or responsibility are involved.

   The act of reappointing an individual implies that they have already been in that position before and are being given another opportunity to continue their work or service. This term often indicates that the person being reappointed has performed their duties effectively, satisfactorily, or successfully in the past, and hence is being given the opportunity to continue their service or contribution.

   Reappointment can also occur when a person's previous term expires, requiring a decision to be made about whether to extend their tenure in the position for another term or period. The decision to reappoint an individual can be made by a person or authority who holds the power to appoint or select individuals for specific roles or positions. Additionally, the process of reappointment may involve considerations such as performance evaluations, qualifications, experience, and the availability of other qualified candidates.

2. To appoint again.

Etymology of REAPPOINT

The word "reappoint" is derived from the combination of two roots: "re-" and "appoint".

1. "Re-" is a prefix that originates from Latin and means "again" or "back". It indicates repetition or restoration to a previous state.

2. "Appoint" comes from the Old French word "apointer", which means "to put in order" or "to arrange". It ultimately stems from the Latin verb "ad-" (to) and "ponere" (to put).

When these two roots are combined, "reappoint" is formed, meaning "to appoint or designate again". This term is often used in the context of someone being chosen or assigned to a job or position for a subsequent time.
