Etymology: "Recommunicated" is the past tense and past participle of "recommunicate," a verb built by attaching the prefix "re-" to "communicate." "Re-" here carries its ordinary sense of doing something again, so the verb means to communicate once more, whether to repeat a message or to pass it along again to be sure it lands. The base verb "communicate" comes from the Latin "communicare," meaning to share, impart, or make common, from "communis," or common. That original idea of making something shared is still present when "communicate" means to convey information from one party to another. Adding "re-" simply layers repetition onto that sense of sharing, so "recommunicate" describes sharing the same content a second time with the same audience.
