Repeat

/rɪˈpiːt/ verb, noun

Definition

Verb: To do or say something again. Noun: Something that happens or is done again.

Etymology

From Old French *repeter* “to say again,” from Latin *repetere* “to seek again, go back to,” from *re-* “again” and *petere* “to seek.” The sense shifted from going back to something to doing it again.

Kelly Says

Every ‘repeat’ is a return trip—your mind or body goes back to a previous action. That’s why repetition is so powerful for learning: each repeat is like walking the same path until it becomes a road.
