The word "reiterate" combines the Latin prefix re- (emphasizing repetition) with iterate (to repeat). It entered English in the early 15th century, originally used in legal and rhetorical contexts to stress the act of repeating statements or actions. The morphemes logically align: re- reinforces iterate, creating a layered meaning of "to repeat again."
