Etymology: "Redisplays" is the third-person singular present form of "redisplay," so it describes someone or something showing again what was shown before. The verb is built from the prefix "re-," meaning again, and "display," which the source traces through Old French "desploier" to the Latin roots that also gave English "explode" and "employ" in its older sense of spreading out or unfolding. The prefix and base are both easy to see, and the combined meaning follows directly from them.

Synonyms: reshows, re-presents, re-exhibits
