Etymology: "Retitled" is the past tense of "retitle," which is simply "re-" attached to "title." The prefix "re-" means "again" or "anew," so to retitle something is to give it a new title. The base word traces back to Latin "titulus," meaning an inscription or label, which entered Old English as "titul" and reached Middle English as "title." The prefix has a longer ancestry of its own. It descends from Latin "re-," which passed into English through Old French, so "retitle" is a fairly transparent combination of two inherited pieces rather than a single borrowed term.

Synonyms: renamed, relabelled
