The same as "redact" is not to "dact" again, and "reduce" is not to make someone a duce once more.

Call me boring, but I know the answer to that. The re in refrigerate does
not imply that is being made cold again. In the Latin it just implies a

Interestingly (or not), in French too 're' does not necessarily imply a
repetition but can act to reinforce the root meaning.
