Abstract
The etymology of the word recidivism is explored as is its use in the psychiatric literature and other areas. This paper revisits a proposal to stop using the word to describe hospital readmission and substance use relapse since the origin of the word and predominant meaning reflect crime and acts that offend society. Public policy makers and leaders should be careful to not misuse the word and unwittingly stigmatize persons with mental illness and substance use disorders.
