Actually I have no complaint about it. I like the word redaction and think we
are using it appropriately.
Merriam-Webster says;
re*dact (verb transitive)
[Middle English, from Latin redactus, past participle of redigere]
First appeared 15th Century
1 : to put in writing : FRAME
2 : to select or adapt for publication : EDIT
re*dac*tion (noun)
[French redaction, from Late Latin redaction-, redactio active of reducing,
compressing, from Latin redigere to bring back, reduce, from re-, red- re- +
agere to lead -- more at AGENT]
First appeared 1785
1 : an act or instance of redacting something
2 : a work that has been redacted : EDITION, VERSION
I fail to see where we are using it incorrectly.
