To correct or amend (text, a manuscript, or written work); to mark for correction.
From French corriger, derived from Latin corrigere (com- 'with' + regere 'to rule/direct'), meaning to 'set right' or 'direct aright.'
Medieval monks used 'corrige' marks in manuscripts—tiny symbols indicating errors to be fixed—creating the first proofreading systems centuries before printed books.
