Question

in the words return and rerun what does the prefix mean?

Answer 1

In the words "return" and "rerun," the prefix "re-" typically means "again" or "back."

- In "return," it suggests going back to a previous place or state.
- In "rerun," it implies running something again, such as a television show or an event.

So, in both cases, "re-" indicates a repetition or a backward movement.
