REDEAL Meaning and
Definition
-
The term "redeal" refers to an action taken in card games, particularly in games of chance such as poker or bridge, where the existing set of cards dealt to the players is reshuffled and redistributed. This process usually occurs when the initial distribution of cards is deemed invalid or unfair due to human error, cheating, or other unforeseen circumstances.
When a redeal is required, all players participating in the game return their cards to the dealer, who then collects the cards, shuffles them thoroughly, and deals another round with the aim of creating a new, unbiased distribution of cards. This ensures that every player has an equal opportunity to receive a fair hand, eliminating any potential advantage or disadvantage that may have occurred due to an imperfect initial deal. In some cases, the number of cards dealt in the redeal may differ from the original deal, as determined by the specific rules of the game being played.
The decision to redeal is typically made by the person in charge of conducting the game, such as the dealer or a designated referee. The purpose of a redeal is to ensure a level playing field for all participants and to maintain fairness and integrity in the gameplay. It is important to note that a redeal is not a common occurrence but rather a remedial action taken when necessary to rectify an error or imbalance in the original distribution of cards.
Etymology of REDEAL
The word "redeal" is formed by adding the prefix "re-" to the verb "deal". The prefix "re-" in English is derived from the Latin prefix "re-", which signifies repetition or restoration. In Latin, the word "re-" is related to the verb "res", meaning "back" or "again". When combined with the verb "deal", meaning "to distribute cards in a game", the resulting word "redeal" refers to the act of dealing again or redistributing cards.
