the second tone of the musical diatonic scale.Usage Re is used in the heading of certain legal documents and to some extent in business writing. In ordinary prose, the equivalent English prepositions are preferable.= Ra.╂[< Egyptian r" the sun]re-,prefix.╂[< Latin re-, or < French, Old French re- < Latin]Usage re-. Usually words formed of the prefix re- and another word are not hyphened: »rearrange, refine, remit.
However, words formed with the prefix re- meaning again are sometimes hyphened (1) when the word to which it is joined begins with e: »reecho
or »re-echo,
(2) when the form with hyphen can have a different meaning from the form without: »reform, to make better—
»re-form, to shape again,
(3) (rarely) for emphasis, as in “now re-seated in fair comfort,” or in informal or humorous compounds: »re-remarried,
and (4) before roots with an initial capital letter: »re-Americanize.
At one time words beginning with e, such as echo in reecho were written reëcho with the dieresis, but that device is now archaic in English according to most stylebooks and general use. The meaning of each of the following words is found by adding again or anew to the main part. The pronunciation of the main part is not changed.▪ re´a|bridge´▪ re´ab|solve´▪ re´ac|cel´er|ate▪ re´ac|cel´er|a´tion▪ re´ac|cept´▪ re´ac|cept´ance▪ re´ac|cli´mate▪ re´ac|cli´ma|tize▪ re´ac|com´plish▪
