(remount)
mount again
Etymology
'remount' originates from Old French, specifically the word 'remonter', where 're-' meant 'again' and 'monter' meant 'to mount or climb'.
'remount' changed from the Old French word 'remonter' and came into Middle English (e.g. 'remonten') before becoming the modern English word 'remount'.
Initially, it meant 'to mount again'; over time the basic sense 'mount again' has remained but the word extended to technical senses such as 're-attach' or 'reinstall'.
