repeating
UK: rɪˈpiːtɪŋ | US: rɪˈpitɪŋ
adj. occurring or done again
v. (present participle of "repeat") to say or do something again
The word "repeating" derives from the verb "repeat," which entered Middle English via Old French "repeter," from Latin "repetere" (re- "again" + petere "to seek, attack"). The morpheme "re-" signifies repetition, while "peat" (from "petere") originally meant "to seek" or "strive toward," evolving into the sense of "doing again." The suffix "-ing" forms the present participle. Over time, "repeat" shifted from "seek again" to its modern meaning of "do or say again."
