The word "repertoire" originates from French, derived from the Late Latin "repertorium" (meaning "inventory" or "list"). The Latin roots break down into "re-" (again) + "per-" (through) + "-torium" (a suffix denoting place or tool). Historically, it referred to a theatrical company's stock of plays ready for performance. Over time, it expanded metaphorically to include any collection of skills or works a person or group can draw upon. The morpheme "toire" preserves the French spelling, reflecting its direct borrowing into English.
