Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Latin 'redactus', past participle of 'redigere', meaning 'to drive back' or 'bring back', formed from 're-' (back, again) and 'agere' (to drive, lead). In late Middle English, it originally meant to compose or draw up a document, later shifting in the mid-20th century to its modern legal and bureaucratic sense of editing or blacking out sensitive information before publication.
