Spanish and Portuguese word meaning magazine or journal, typically a periodical publication containing articles, stories, and illustrations. Also refers to a type of theatrical revue.
From Spanish/Portuguese revista, derived from revistar meaning 'to review or inspect.' Ultimately from Latin revidere, combining re- (again) and videre (to see), literally meaning 'to see again' or examine.
The word 'revista' beautifully captures the essence of magazines - they are meant to be 'reviewed' or looked at again and again. In Latin America, revista also refers to variety shows, reflecting the entertainment value these publications historically provided.
