Etymology: "Retyped" is the past tense and past participle of "retype," a verb formed from the prefix "re-" meaning "again" or "back" and the verb "type," so it means to type something anew. The prefix itself has a long lineage: it passes from Latin "re-" through Old French "re-" into Middle English, and it is the same prefix that appears in words like "redo" and "rewrite."

Synonyms: re-typed
