REWEAR Meaning and
Definition
-
Rewear is a verb that originated from combining the prefix "re-" meaning "again" or "back" with the word "wear," which implies putting on or using an item of clothing, accessory, or object. Rewear refers to the act of wearing or using something once more after it has been worn or used before.
In essence, rewearing involves utilizing an item, typically an article of clothing, that has already been worn or used once, instead of discarding or storing it indefinitely. It implies the decision to reuse, rather than purchasing or acquiring a new item, thereby minimizing waste and environmental impact.
This term is particularly relevant to sustainable fashion movements and conscious consumption practices that encourage reducing the environmental footprint caused by the fast-paced fashion industry. By rewearing clothing items, individuals contribute to the reduction of textile waste, decreasing the consumption of new resources such as raw materials, water, and energy required for manufacturing.
Rewearing can also encompass the act of incorporating old or previously worn items into new outfit combinations, adding creative elements to personal style. It allows individuals to express their unique fashion sense while being mindful of sustainability and environmental preservation. With the rise of social media and fashion influencers, rewearing has gained popularity as a means of embracing self-expression, reducing consumption, and advocating for sustainable fashion practices.
Etymology of REWEAR
The word "rewear" is a combination of the prefix "re-" and the verb "wear". The prefix "re-" comes from Old English and has the meaning of "again" or "back". It indicates the repetition or restoration of an action. The verb "wear" has its roots in Old English, derived from the word "werian", meaning "to carry, bear, or wear". So, when combined, "rewear" means to wear or use something again after it has already been worn or used previously.
