reinstate#3

 韓国のナッツ姫がBBCにも取り上げられておりました。日本では連日報道されているこの件ですが,韓国の警察は彼女を起訴する証拠を集めているそうです。
 取り上げる単語は"reinstate"です。『Wisdom英和辞典第三版』(三省堂)によると「…を復位[復職, 復権]させる」という意味がありました。ODを見ると以下の説明書きがしてありました。

"Restore (someone or something) to their former position or state"
語源については以前のブログで取り上げられておるので詳しい説明は省きますが,"re(再び)+instate"に分解出来ます。ナッツを提供した添乗員はナッツ姫に解雇を言い渡されましたが,現在は復帰しているとのことです。(Ume)

'Nut rage': Prosecutors seek arrest for Korean Air executive

A government investigation found that she screamed and shouted abuse at a flight attendant after he served her macadamia nuts in a bag.

She then ordered the plane to go back to the terminal to offload the flight attendant, who was fired on the spot before the plane proceeded on its journey from New York to Incheon. He has since been reinstated.

Ms Cho has since issued two tearful public apologies and resigned from all her posts.

She insists that she did not physically assault the chief steward, who says she made him kneel and made him beg forgiveness before jabbing him with a document folder.


Heather Cho spoke so quietly at a news conference she could barely be heard
Another Korean Air official is alleged to have ordered key witnesses in the case to change their evidence during a transport ministry probe.

Separately, an official from the transport ministry was arrested on Wednesday for leaking details of the government investigation to Korean Air officials.
