The word rehabilitation comes from Medieval Latin rehabilitatio, from rehabilitare meaning "to restore to former capacity." This breaks down to re- (again) + habilitare (make able), from habilis (able). The term originally (16th century) meant restoring someone to their former rank or privileges, especially in a legal context. The medical sense developed in the 19th century, and the criminal justice usage emerged in the early 20th century with prison reform movements. The evolution of the word reflects changing attitudes toward recovery and second chances in society.
