Where this word comes from
Borrowed from French revanche (“revenge; rematch”), a deverbal of French revancher (“to take revenge”), from Old French revenchier (“to avenge, take revenge”), itself formed from re- (“again; back”) + vengier (“to avenge, take revenge”). The latter continues Latin vindicāre (“to avenge, vindicate”), the infinitive of vindicō (“to avenge, vindicate, punish”), a denominative of vindex (“defender; claimant, vindicator”). Latin vindex is formed from vim, the accusative singular of vīs (“force, power”), + dīcere (“to indicate, say”) + -s. The vīs element ultimately reflects *weyh₁- (“to chase, pursue; suppress”), while dīcere reflects *deyḱ- (“to show, point out”). Compare the parallel borrowings Danish revanche, Swedish revansch, German Revanche, Dutch revanche, Polish rewanż and Russian рева́нш (revánš), as well as the related English revenge.
