Rekeyboard is a transitive verb commonly used in the context of computing and technology. It refers to the action of typing or entering information onto a keyboard or input device for a second time. The term 're-' suggests repetition or doing something again, and 'keyboard' pertains to the physical or virtual board containing keys used for input.
When one needs to rekeyboard a piece of information, it means that the data has already been entered or typed previously but must be input again into a computer system or text editor. This could occur due to various reasons, such as when an error is encountered during the initial typing and needs to be rectified, or when data is lost or overwritten and must be replaced. Additionally, rekeyboard might be necessary to recapture or reenter information for backup or record-keeping purposes.
Rekeyboard can also be employed to describe the process of retyping or inputting text from a physical document, such as transcribing written content from paper to a digital format. The term emphasizes the repetitive nature of entering information onto a keyboard and signifies the need to perform the task again.
Overall, rekeyboard represents the action of duplicating or reentering data on a keyboard or input device, often to replace or correct existing information or to convert physical text into a digital form.
Etymology of REKEYBOARD
The term "rekeyboard" is a compound word derived from the combination of the prefix "re-" and the noun "keyboard".
The prefix "re-" comes from Latin and means "again" or "back". It is commonly used to indicate repetition, restoration, or returning to a previous state. In the case of "rekeyboard", the prefix signifies doing something related to the keyboard again or returning it to a previous state.
The noun "keyboard" originated from the combination of the words "key" and "board". The term "key" originally referred to a mechanical device or lever used for locks or opening mechanisms.
