Etymology of REPRIEV

The word reprieval or reprieve comes from the Old French word repris (also spelled repries), which means take back or take again. It originated from the verb reprendre, meaning to take back or to recover, which is a combination of the prefix re- (meaning again or back) and the verb prendre (meaning to take). Over time, the meaning of repris evolved to include the sense of temporary relief or postponement, particularly in relation to punishment or execution. The word eventually entered English in the 14th century with the current spelling reprieve.
