覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 revisit は re-「再び」+ visit「訪れる・扱う」で、三人称単数現在の -s が付いた形です。visit が /t/ で終わるため語尾は /s/ と発音します。人が場所を再訪する場合だけでなく、committee revisits a policy のように問題を改めて検討する用法も一緒に覚えます。
Build revisits from re-, “again,” and visits. The base verb is revisit, and the third-person singular present ending -s is pronounced /s/ because revisit ends in the voiceless /t/ sound. The object tells you which meaning is intended: someone revisits Kyoto by going there again, while a committee revisits a policy by considering it again. Remember the shared idea of returning—either physically to a place or mentally to an earlier topic.

revisits の語源・成り立ち Etymology
re-(再び)+ visit から成る。visit はラテン語 visitare(見に行く)で、語根 vidēre(見る)の強意形。「再び見に行く」が原義。関連語:visit(訪問する)、vision(視覚、同じ語根 vid-/vis-)。一度訪れた場所や人を再び訪ねることを表す。
Revisits is the third-person singular present form of revisit, a verb formed from re-, “again,” and visit. Visit comes through French from Latin visitare, meaning “to go to see,” a frequentative form related to videre, “to see.” Thus, revisit originally carries the transparent idea of going to see again, from which the figurative sense “consider or discuss again” developed.
