Etymology

The word 'recount' originated from the Middle English word 'recounten', which came from the Old French word 'reconter', meaning 'to tell'. The prefix 're-' signifies repetition, while 'count' comes from the Latin word 'computare', meaning 'to calculate'. Over time, 'recount' has evolved to encompass both the act of counting again and the act of narrating or telling a story.

See also: count, countable, countenance, counter, counting, countless, county, discount, encounter, recounted, uncountable.
