The name came from a combination of “StructuredText”, one of reStructuredText’s predecessors, with “re”: “revised”, “reworked”, and “reinterpreted”, and as in the re.py regular expression module. For a detailed history of reStructuredText and the Docutils project, see An Introduction to reStructuredText.
