Etymology: "Redone" is simply the past participle of "redo," which is built from the prefix "re-" (again) and "do." The "do" half is one of the oldest verbs in English: it descends from Old English "dōn," which carried the same core sense of performing or putting an action into effect. The prefix "re-" comes to English through Old French "re-" from Latin "re-," meaning "back" or "again," and it was attached to "do" in Middle English, where the combination meant to do something over. The word's shape is therefore transparent in a way many English verbs are not. Its meaning follows directly from the two parts, with no sense shift needed: to do again. That plainness is typical of verbs formed with "re-," which English speakers have freely attached to common base verbs for centuries.
