repurpose

repurpose是英語動詞，英式發音/ˌriːˈpɜː.pəs/，美式發音/ˌriːˈpɝː.pəs/，意為“重新利用”或“改變用途”。該詞由拉丁語前綴re-（表示“重新”）與盎格魯-法語動詞purposer（設計）組合構成，1980年代開始流行。

該詞指通過調整原物屬性實現功能轉換，套用涵蓋建築改造（如舊機持續使用）、數字內容改編（如印刷資料轉為網頁）等領域，亦延伸至藥物開發中的drug repurposing策略。其核心在於資源最佳化與場景創新，強調在保留基礎功能前提下賦予新價值。

詞源可追溯至拉丁語前綴re-與盎格魯-法語動詞purposer（設計）的組合，現代語義擴展後廣泛套用於可持續發展領域。其派生形式包括repurposed（過去分詞）和repurposing（動名詞）。
