The act of reviewing and making changes to improve something, especially written work.
From Latin 'revisere' meaning to look at again, composed of 're-' (again) and 'visere' (to look). Entered English in the 16th century through academic and literary contexts.
Revision literally means 'seeing again' - writers and editors are professional re-seers, discovering new meanings and possibilities in familiar text through fresh acts of vision.
