How Do You Spell REDIAL?

Pronunciation: [ɹˈiːda͡ɪ͡əl] (IPA)

The word "redial" is spelled with the IPA phonetic transcription of /riːˈdaɪəl/. It is derived from the combination of the words "re-" meaning again and "dial" which refers to the mechanism used to input telephone numbers. The word refers to the act of calling back the last number dialed without having to manually input the number again. The spelling of "redial" reflects its pronunciation and is a useful function for those who frequently call the same number.

REDIAL Meaning and Definition

  1. Redial is a verb that describes the action or process of dialing a phone number again, usually after a previous attempt failed or was unsuccessful. It involves inputting the same number that was previously dialed using a telephone or other communication device, with the intention of establishing a connection with the desired recipient. This action can be performed manually by entering the digits again on the phone keypad, or it can be done automatically by utilizing the redial function on the device itself.

    The redial feature is a convenient tool that allows individuals to save time and effort when attempting to reach a busy line, disconnected number, or when a previous call was unanswered. By simply redialing the number, the individual does not have to go through the entire process of dialing the digits from scratch, which can be particularly useful in situations where time is of the essence or when trying to quickly establish communication with someone.

    Redial is commonly used in both personal and professional contexts, as it provides a quick and efficient way to reconnect with individuals or businesses that were previously called. With the advent of mobile phones and their integration of redial features, the concept has become more accessible and widely used in modern communication.

Common Misspellings for REDIAL

Etymology of REDIAL

The word "redial" is a combination of two words, "re-" and "dial". The prefix "re-" in English denotes repetition or indicating that an action is being done again. The word "dial" originates from the Latin word "dialis" meaning "pertaining to a day" or "daily". It is related to the Latin word "dies", which means "day".

"Dial" initially referred to the instrument used for marking time by the movement of a pointer or hands, such as a sundial. In the telecommunication context, it came to represent the act of entering a telephone number using a rotary dial or buttons to establish a connection.

"Redial" specifically indicates the act of dialing a telephone number again or repeatedly, thus emphasizing the repetition or redoing of the dialing action.
