re: re 1 |rārē|
preposition
in the matter of (used typically as the first word in the heading of an official document or to introduce a reference in an official letter): re: invoice 87.
• about; concerning: I saw the deputy re the incident.
ORIGIN
Latin, ablative of res ‘thing.’
usage: It is often said that, strictly speaking, re should be used in headings and references, as in Re: Harrison versus Ortiz, but not as a normal word meaning ‘regarding,’ as in thanks for your letter re the job postings. However, the evidence suggests that re is now widely used in the second context in official and semiofficial contexts, and is now generally accepted. Be aware, however, that in certain formal contexts, if re is used in mid-sentence, some readers may regard it as business jargon or an inappropriate legalism. Often, concerning or about would be just as clear (and less likely to annoy).
re 2
noun
variant spelling of ray3.
re 2 |rā|
nounMusic
(in solmization) the second note of a major scale.
• the note D in the fixed-do system.
ORIGIN
Middle English re, representing (as an arbitrary name for the note) the first syllable of resonare, taken from a Latin hymn (see solmization) .
re- |rē|
prefix
1 once more; afresh; anew: reaccustom | reactivate.
• with return to a previous state: restore | revert.
2 (also red-) in return; mutually: react | resemble.
• in opposition: repel | resistance.
3 behind or after: relic | remain.
• in a withdrawn state: recluse | reticent.
• back and away; down: recede | relegation.
4 with frequentative or intensive force: redouble | resound.
5 with negative force: rebuff | recant.
ORIGIN
from Latin re-, red- ‘again, back.’
usage: In modern English, the tendency is for words formed with prefixes such as re- to be unhyphenated: reacquaint, reconsider, reshape. For the sake of clarity, however, hyphenation is sometimes favored when the root word begins with a vowel: re-elect, for instance, may be preferred as a less awkward spelling than reelect. A hyphen is often used when the word formed with the prefix would be identical in form with, but different in meaning and pronunciation from, an already existing word: re-cover (meaning ‘cover again,’ as in we decided to re-cover the dining-room chairs), as opposed to recover (meaning ‘get better in health’).
