'anapeiratic' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'anapeiratos,' where 'ana-' meant 'again' and 'peirao' meant 'to attempt or try.'

'anapeiratic' changed from the Greek word 'anapeiratos' and eventually became the modern English word 'anapeiratic.'

Initially, it meant 'to try again or attempt repeatedly,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'relating to a rhetorical device where a question is asked and answered by the speaker.'
