覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
rehab は rehabilitation を日常会話で短くした語です。re-「再び」と、能力・適性に関わる語要素を背景に、「けがや病気、依存症から機能や生活を取り戻す過程」と捉えます。go to rehab は施設に通う、start rehab は治療・訓練を始める、という典型表現で覚えましょう。
Rehab is the everyday shortened form of rehabilitation. Connect it with the idea of helping a person regain an ability, healthy condition, or stable life after injury, illness, or addiction. Context tells you whether it means the treatment process, a program, or the facility itself. Useful patterns include start rehab, go to rehab, and recommend rehab for an injured knee. Remember that rehab is informal and common in conversation, while rehabilitation is the fuller term more likely to appear in formal medical or administrative writing.

rehab の語源・成り立ち Etymology
rehab は rehabilitation の短縮形で、フランス語 réhabilitation と中世ラテン語 rehabilitatio に由来します。re-「再び」+ habilis 系「適した・能力のある」で、もとの良い状態へ戻す感覚から「リハビリ」の意味になりました。関連語は rehabilitate, able。
Rehab is a shortening of rehabilitation, attested as an informal English form. Rehabilitation came through French and Medieval Latin formations based on rehabilitare, “to restore.” It combines re-, “again,” with a base related to Latin habilis, “suitable” or “capable.” The underlying idea is making someone capable or restoring a former status again. In modern English, rehab is especially associated with recovery from physical injury, illness, or substance dependence.
