Etymology of RECLOSE

The word "reclose" is a combination of two English words: "re" and "close".

The prefix "re-" is derived from the Latin prefix "re-" or "red-" meaning "back" or "again". It is used to indicate repetition, restoration, or repetition of an action.

The word "close" comes from the Old English word "clōsian", which means to shut, enclose, or obstruct. It has its roots in the Germanic language family.

When these two words are combined, "re-" signifies doing something again or returning to a previous state, and "close" refers to shutting or enclosing something. Thus, "reclose" suggests the act of closing or shutting something again or closing it once more after it has been opened or previously closed.
