remarry
UK: ˌriːˈmæri | US: ˌriːˈmæri
v. to marry again after a divorce or the death of a spouse
The word "remarry" combines the prefix "re-" (from Latin, meaning "again") with the verb "marry" (from Old French "marier," ultimately derived from Latin "maritare," meaning "to wed"). The prefix "re-" indicates repetition, giving the word its meaning of entering marriage a second time. This logical construction reflects the straightforward evolution of the term in English to describe a recurring marital union.
