overhaul
의미: A thorough examination and repair of a system, machine, or process; as a verb, to take apart, inspect, and renovate comprehensively.
Overhaul implies a fundamental, top-to-bottom review and restructuring rather than minor adjustment. It is frequently used in policy and institutional contexts — 'an overhaul of the tax system,' 'a regulatory overhaul' — as well as in engineering and maintenance. The word carries connotations of something being in need of significant improvement. In British English, it can also mean to overtake or catch up with, particularly in nautical usage, though this sense is now rare.
