reprised; reprising
transitive verb
1a: to repeat the performance of
b: to repeat the principal points or stages of : RECAPITULATE
2archaic : TAKE BACK
especially : to recover by force
3 archaic : COMPENSATE
Etymology
When reprise was first adopted into English in the 15th century, it
referred to a deduction or charge made yearly out of a manor or estate (and
was usually used in the plural form reprises). It probably won't surprise
you, then, to learn that reprise comes from an Anglo-French word meaning
"seizure, repossession, or expense." Eventually, reprise came to refer to
any action that was repeated or resumed. A later sense, borrowed from
modern French, applies to specific types of repetition in musical
compositions. That sense was eventually generalized to describe any
subsequent and identical performance. It's possible, for example, to have a
reprise of a television program or a book.
