Restoring something old or damaged back to good condition, usually by repairing and improving it.
From Latin 'renovare' (to renew), from 're-' (again) + 'novus' (new). The word has been used in English since the 16th century for both physical restoration and spiritual renewal.
Renovation is the ultimate act of 'making new again'—a 200-year-old house can become modern through renovation, proving that 'new' doesn't always mean recently built.
