UK: ˌriːˈrʌn | US: ˌriːˈrʌn
n. 1. A repeated broadcast or showing of a film, TV show, etc.
vt. 2. To broadcast or show (a film, TV show, etc.) again.
The word "rerun" combines the prefix "re-" (from Latin, meaning "again") with the verb "run" (Old English "rinnan," meaning "to flow" or "to operate"). In media contexts, "run" evolved to mean "to broadcast" or "to show." Thus, "rerun" logically signifies "to show again," reflecting its practical use in television and film industries for rebroadcasting content.
