refill
UK: ˌriːˈfɪl | US: ˌriːˈfɪl
vt. to fill something again
n. an act of refilling; a new portion of a substance used to replenish a container
The word "refill" combines the prefix "re-" (from Latin, meaning "again") with the verb "fill" (from Old English "fyllan," meaning "to make full"). The prefix "re-" is widely used in English to indicate repetition, while "fill" retains its core meaning of adding contents to a container. The logical progression is straightforward: "refill" literally means "to fill again," reflecting its practical use in contexts like replenishing drinks or supplies.
