Common Misspellings for REPAGANIZE

Etymology of REPAGANIZE

The word "repaganize" is derived from the combination of the prefix "re-", which means "again" or "back", and the word "paganize", which means to convert or revert to a pagan belief or practice.

The term "pagan" itself has an interesting etymology. It originates from the Latin word "paganus", which initially referred to a civilian or someone living in the countryside. In the early Christian era, when Christianity was spreading throughout the Roman Empire, the term "paganus" began to be used to describe individuals who were not converts to Christianity and adhered to traditional polytheistic religious beliefs. Over time, "pagan" evolved to denote any non-Christian or non-Semitic religious belief.

With the addition of the prefix "re-", "repaganize" essentially means to return to or reintroduce pagan beliefs or practices that were previously abandoned or replaced by another religion.
