Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin remedium, composed of re- (expressing intensive or back action) and mederi (to heal or cure, from the Indo-European root med- meaning 'to measure'). Entering Middle English via Old French in the 14th century, the term initially referred strictly to medical treatments before expanding to denote any corrective measure for problems or legal wrongs.
