To create something again in a new way; to completely change how something is done or presented.
From Latin 're-' (again) + 'invenire' (to find, discover). The 'invent' part comes from 'in-' (in) + 'venire' (to come)—literally 'to come upon something new.'
We often talk about people 'reinventing themselves,' but the word literally means 'finding again.' The interesting part is that innovation isn't just about finding something entirely new—it's about finding it again in a different way.
