Rewind means to move backwards. It comes from the times when lots of media used to be on tape spools of some kind... either reel-to-reel, cassette tapes, or videocassettes. Winding was moving forward (putting the tape on one reel), and rewinding was moving backwards (putting the tape back on the original reel so you could start again). Even though we switched to "Play" for the forward movement, in order to get back to the beginning, you still had to move the reel backwards, or "rewind." So, now, even though it doesn't still work that way, we still refer to moving a movie or other media backwards by using the word "rewind."
