Etymology of REAPPORTIONING

The word "reapportioning" is derived from two main components: "re-" and "apportion".

1. "Re-" is a prefix in English, taken from the Latin prefix "re-" or "red-" that denotes "again" or "back". It is used to indicate repetition, restoration, or reversal in many words. In the case of "reapportioning", it signifies the action of repeating or redoing the apportionment.

2. "Apportion" is derived from the Old French word "aportioner", which originated from the Latin word "apportionare". "Apportionare" is a combination of the prefix "ad-" meaning "to" or "towards", and the root "portionare" meaning "to divide into portions" or "share". Thus, "apportion" means to allocate, distribute, or divide something fairly or proportionally.
