Etymology
**Renvoi** comes from the verb *renvoyer* “to send back,” which is formed by the prefix **re‑** (again, back) + *envoi* “dispatch.”
*Envoi* itself is an Old French word derived from **en‑** “in, into” + **voie** “way,” the latter going back to Latin **via** “road, path.”
Historically, *renvoi* appeared in Middle French as a noun meaning a sending or dispatch, later taking the legal sense of a court’s dismissal or referral.
