Etymology: Re- is the Latin prefix meaning "again" or "back." It reached English through Old French and Middle English, so adding it to a verb signals a repeated action. Emphasize comes from "emphasis," a Greek noun meaning something like "outward show" or "significance," which derives from a verb meaning "to show forth." Combined, the verb means to stress something a second time. This form, reemphasizing, is the present participle and gerund of that verb, the "-ing" ending marking the action as ongoing or turning it into a noun for the act.

Synonyms: reiterating, restating
