REPURCHASE Meaning and Definition

1. The term "repurchase" refers to the act of buying back something that was previously sold, typically referring to an item that was previously owned or belonging to the individual or entity doing the buying. It involves the reversal of a sale transaction, with the intention of restoring ownership rights to the original seller. Repurchase can be applied in various contexts, such as commerce, finance, or real estate.

   In the business realm, repurchase often pertains to financial instruments like stocks or bonds. When a company repurchases its own shares from the open market, it is engaging in a stock repurchase. This is typically done to decrease the number of outstanding shares, thereby increasing the ownership percentage of existing shareholders and enhancing stock value.

   In the real estate sector, the term repurchase often appears in lease agreements. A repurchase clause provides an option for the original property owner to repurchase the property from the lessee at a predetermined price and within a specified period. This can be useful if the owner wishes to regain control of the property or if certain conditions arise that trigger the repurchase clause.

   Overall, repurchase involves the act of buying back something that was previously sold, either in the financial, commercial, or real estate industries. It signifies a reversal of a sale transaction, where the initial seller regains ownership rights over the item or property in question.

2. • To buy back.

Etymology of REPURCHASE

The word repurchase is derived from the combination of two root words: re- and purchase.

1. Re- is a Latin prefix meaning again or back. It is commonly used to indicate repetition or restoration.

2. Purchase comes from the Old French word purchacier which means to pursue, strive for, or seek to obtain. It is derived from the Latin word purchasare, meaning to seek to obtain.

By combining these two roots, repurchase was formed, which literally means to purchase again or to buy back.
