覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 reimagine の語末の e を落として -ing を付けた形です。re-「再び・新たに」＋imagine「心に描く」から、単なる再検討より「別の姿を心に描いて作り直す」と覚えます。reimagining a station as a library のように、reimagine A as B の型で、建物・制度・作品の大胆な再構想に使います。
Connect reimagining with image and imagination: you are forming a new mental image of something that already exists. It comes from reimagine by dropping the final silent e before adding -ing. Picture designers reimagining an old station as a public library. The useful pattern reimagine A as B highlights a new role or form. Unlike simply reconsidering a decision, reimagining often suggests creative transformation—seeing how a lesson, service, building, or story could work differently.

reimagining の語源・成り立ち Etymology
re-（再び）+ imagine（想像する）から成る。imagineはラテン語 imaginari（心に描く）に由来し、語根 imago（像・模像）を持つ。関連語: image, imagination。「もう一度心の像を描き直す」が原義で、既存の概念を根本から捉え直すニュアンスを持つ。
Reimagining is formed from reimagine by dropping its final silent e and adding -ing. Reimagine combines re-, meaning “again” or “anew,” with imagine. Imagine comes through French from Latin imaginari, “to form a mental picture,” based on imago, “image or likeness.” The modern compound therefore conveys forming a new mental image of something and, by extension, redesigning its purpose or form.
