Etymology: "Retranscribed" is the past tense and past participle of "retranscribe," which is formed from the prefix "re-", meaning "again" or "back," attached to "transcribe." "Transcribe" comes from Latin "transcribere," combining "trans-" ("across" or "over") with "scribere" ("to write"), so the base idea is copying writing from one place to another. The prefix adds the sense of doing that copying a second time. The "re-" prefix is productive in English and attaches freely to verbs like this one, so "retranscribe" is a straightforward coinage built from existing parts rather than a word with a dramatic history of its own. Its meaning follows the root closely: a transcription made again, usually to correct, refine, or update an earlier version.

Synonyms: copied, transcribed, rewritten, duplicated, recorded
