+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''revisione''' ''f'' (plural revisioni)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is a learned word, [[bor|la-lat|revīsiō|t=a seeing again]], first recorded in the 5th century in Claudianus Mamertus.^(DELI 1999)^(Nocentini 2010)^(GRADIT 2003)^(Tommaseo–Bellini 1861)^(Wiktionary) The Latin noun is formed on the past participle of [[la|revideō|t=to see again; to visit again]], from [[m|la|re-]] and [[m|la|videō|t=to see]].^(DELI 1999)^(Devoto 1968)^(de Vaan 2008) [[m|la|videō]] goes back to [[ine-pro|*weyd-|t=to see]], the root of [[grc|οἶδα|tr=oîda|t=I know]] and [[en|wit]].^(de Vaan 2008)^(Wiktionary) The popular Italian verb from the same Latin source is [[rivedere]].^(GRADIT 2003)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ In its Marxist sense, [[revisionismo]] copies [[de|Revisionismus]] (1903).^(DELI 1999)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ DELI and GRADIT date it before 1536, to the Venetian Marin Sanudo, who writes of the ''provedadori sora la revision di conti'', the officials in charge of auditing public accounts.^(DELI 1999)^(GRADIT 2003)^(GDLI) DEI puts the first record in the 17th century.^(DEI|3239)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ From the auditing of accounts the word spread to texts: Torquato Tasso wrote that he would not neglect “la revisione dell'opere mie” (the revision of my works), and Francesco Redi mentions a letter that lay with the Inquisitor “per la revisione”, for the censor's review.^(Tommaseo–Bellini 1861) Tommaseo also records it as a legal term.^(Tommaseo–Bellini 1861) The older literary form ''rivisione'' did not survive.^(Tommaseo–Bellini 1861)^(GDLI)

+

+ The mechanical sense, the check and servicing of an engine, is recorded in 1959, and the periodic roadworthiness test of vehicles came later.^(DELI 1999)^(GRADIT 2003) In music it names a modern edition that adapts an old score.^(Devoto–Oli 2026)^(Zingarelli 2010) The derivatives are mostly modern: ''revisore'' “reviser, auditor” (before 1552, Paolo Giovio), ''revisionismo'' (1914–1915, Mussolini, of revising the post-war treaties; 1930 in the Marxist sense), ''revisionista'' (1942) and ''revisionare'' (1938), which the linguist Fochi called “horrible” in 1953.^(DELI 1999)
