Etymology
'rebroadcast' originates from English, combining the prefix 're-' meaning 'again' with 'broadcast', which comes from the Middle English 'brodcaste', where 'broad' meant 'wide' and 'cast' meant 'to throw'.
'broadcast' changed from the Middle English word 'brodcaste' and eventually became the modern English word 'broadcast'.
Initially, 'broadcast' meant 'to scatter seeds widely', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to transmit a program'.
