Fixed something that was broken or damaged; past tense of repair.
From Old French 'reparer,' from Latin 're-' (again) + 'parare' (to make ready, prepare). Literally means 'to make ready again,' which evolved into 'to fix or restore.'
There's a fascinating concept called 'right to repair' that challenges companies trying to prevent you from fixing your own electronics—it's actually a modern version of an ancient human right to maintain and repair what you own.
