(reorder)
arrange again
Etymology
'reorder' originates from the prefix 're-' (from Latin 're-' meaning 'again') combined with 'order' (from Old French 'ordre' and Latin 'ordo').
'order' came from Latin 'ordo' > Old French 'ordre' > Middle English 'ordre/ordere', and the English prefix 're-' (Latin 're-') was attached to form 'reorder'.
Initially it meant 'to order (or arrange) again'; over time the verb also developed the commercial sense 'to place another order (for more goods)', and both senses remain in modern usage.
