repeat: repeat: [14] The -peat of repeat comes ultimately from Latin petere ‘go to, seek’, which has also given English appetite, compete, impetuous, perpetual [14], petition [14], and petulant [16]. Addition of the prefix re- ‘back, again’ produced repetere ‘go back to’, which reached English via Old French repeter.
