Etymology: "Reassembled" is the past tense of "reassemble," which is simply "re-" added to "assemble." The re- prefix means "again" and is the same prefix found in words like "rebuild" and "redo," so the whole word means to put together again what had been taken apart. The base verb "assemble" came into English through Old French "assembler," meaning to bring together or join. That French verb descends from Medieval Latin "assimulare," a formation built on Latin "simulare" ("to make like, to imitate"), with the prefix "ad-" ("to") attached. Its deeper roots lie in the Latin adjective "similis" ("like" or "similar"), which means the original sense was closer to making things alike or matching one another than to heaping parts together.
