Etymology: "Remade" is the past tense and past participle of "remake," which is simply the prefix re- ("again") attached to "make." The core verb is a very old one: "make" comes from Old English "macian," and the broader Germanic root behind it is traced back to a Proto-West Germanic form, though its deeper ancestry is uncertain and of little help to a reader wanting the word's real story. The prefix re- is the more productive half of this word. English has long attached it to ordinary verbs to mean "do again" or "do over," so "remake" follows the same pattern as "rewrite," "reheat," or "rebuild." Because the prefix is so transparent, the word needed no special coinage; it arose whenever speakers wanted to say that something had been made anew.
