Origin of the word readjust

In the 17th century, "readjust" began to take on a more nuanced meaning, implying a re-examination or re-evaluation of something. This sense of re-examination or re-consideration is still a core meaning of the word today. In modern English, "readjust" is often used in contexts such as re-adjusting one's budget, re-adjusting one's expectations, or re-adjusting one's strategy. I hope this brief history has been enlightening!
