Etymology: Remand is a legal term which has two related but distinct usages. Its etymology is from the Latin re- and mandare, literally "to order." It evolved in Late Latin to remandare, or "to send back word." It appears in Middle French as remander and in Middle English as remaunden, both with essentially the same meaning, "to send back."
Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
To Remandverb
To send back; to call back.
Etymology: re and mando, Lat
The better sort quitted their freeholds and fled into England, and never returned, though many laws were made to remand them back. John Davies, on Ireland.

remand
Remand refers to the act of sending a case back to a lower court for further action or review. It is a legal term often used when a higher court determines that the lower court needs to reconsider certain aspects of the case or to carry out a new trial. Alternatively, it can also refer to the act of sending someone back to custody to await trial or a continuation of their trial.

Remand
A remand is an action taken by an appellate court in which it sends back a case to the trial court or lower appellate court for further action. For example, if the trial judge committed a procedural error, failed to admit evidence or witnesses that the appellate court ruled should have been admitted, or ruled improperly on a litigant's motion, the appellate court may send the case back to the lower court for retrial or other action. A case is said to be "remanded" when the superior court returns or sends back the case to the lower court. Also, a court may be said to retry the case "on remand."
