How Do You Spell REPOPULATE?

Pronunciation: [ɹɪpˈɒpjʊlˌe͡ɪt] (IPA)

The word "repopulate" is spelled as [riːˈpɒpjʊleɪt] in IPA phonetic transcription. The initial "re-" prefix implies that this word is a verb meaning to populate again. The following syllable "pop" is pronounced as [pɒp], which sounds like the sound made by a cork popping out of a bottle. The final syllable "-late" has the same sound as the word "late" [leɪt]. Therefore, "repopulate" is spelled as it sounds, with emphasis on the second syllable, "pop".

REPOPULATE Meaning and Definition

1. "Repopulate" is a verb that refers to the act of restoring or replenishing a particular area with inhabitants or organisms, typically after a period of decline, reduction, or depletion in population size. This term is commonly used to describe the process of adding new individuals or organisms to a geographic location, where the population has significantly decreased or ceased to exist.

   The primary objective behind repopulation is to revive a community or ecosystem that has experienced a decline or loss in its natural population. This can be caused by various factors such as natural disasters, environmental degradation, disease outbreaks, or human-induced activities such as deforestation or overhunting. To repopulate an area, efforts are made to introduce new individuals or species that belong to the original population or are ecologically similar in order to restore the balance and functionality of the ecosystem.

   Repopulation can occur both in human-inhabited areas, where individuals or families are encouraged to move back to a previously deserted or abandoned location, as well as in natural environments where wildlife or plant species are reintroduced.

   Overall, repopulation focuses on mitigating the consequences of population decline and restoring the ecological, social, and economic vitality of an area by reintroducing or increasing the number of inhabitants or organisms.

Etymology of REPOPULATE

The word "repopulate" is derived from the combination of two Latin roots: "re-" and "populus".

The prefix "re-" in Latin means "again" or "back" and is used to indicate repetition or restoration. It is commonly used in English to suggest repetition of an action or returning to a previous state.

The Latin word "populus" means "people" or "nation". It is also the root of the English words like "population" and "populace".

Thus, when you combine "re-" and "populus", you get "repopulate", which implies the action of replenishing or restoring a population, either by increasing the number of people in an area or by replacing those who were lost or diminished.
