Rescheduled

/ˌriːˈʃɛdʒuːld/ verb

Definition

Changed the planned time or date for something to happen at a different point in the future.

Etymology

From re- (again) + schedule, which comes from Old French cedule meaning a small piece of paper or list; the sense of 'planned time' developed in the 19th century.

Kelly Says

Scheduling is so common now that we forget it's actually a recent invention—before trains and standardized time, most people didn't need to plan precisely when to meet, so 'rescheduling' something would have made no sense in 1800.
