Etymology

The word 'recap' is derived from the phrase 'recapitulate,' which comes from the Latin word 'recapitulare,' meaning 'to go over the main points again.' The word 'recapitulate' combines 're-' (again) and 'caput' (head), indicating that it involves summarizing again the main points or ideas. 'Recap' emerged in English around the mid-20th century as a more informal and concise version of recapitulate. Over time, it became widely used in various contexts, especially in media, education, and business settings, to refer to the act of summarizing content for clarity or reinforcement.
