Etymology of RENCOUNTERED

There doesn't appear to be a word "rencountered" in the English language. However, if you are referring to "encountered", the etymology is as follows:

The word "encounter" originated from the Old French word "encontrer", which means "to come across" or "to meet by chance". In turn, the Old French term was derived from the Latin word "incontrare", combining "in" (meaning "in" or "against") and "contra" (meaning "against"). The Latin term evolved from "com-" (meaning "together") and "contra", indicating a clash or opposition.

Over time, "encounter" began to be used in English around the 14th century, carrying the sense of unexpectedly meeting or facing someone or something. Its usage has since expanded to cover a broader range of situations beyond chance meetings.
