Etymology: Inflected form: "repainted" is the past tense and past participle of "repaint," which simply means to cover something anew with colour. The base word is "paint," which traces back through Middle English "peynten" and Old French "peintier" to Latin "pingere" and "pictus," meaning to decorate or depict with colour. The prefix "re-" adds the sense of doing the action again, so the whole verb is a straightforward combination of an old colouring word and a familiar prefix.

Synonyms: touched up, refreshed, redone, overhauled, renovated
