Redissolve: meaning, definitions and examples
🔄
redissolve
[ ˌri:diˈzɒlv ]
chemical process
To redissolve means to dissolve a substance again after it has previously been dissolved and has since precipitated, solidified, or become undissolved. This term is often used in chemistry and materials science when discussing solubility and the behavior of substances in solution. Redissolving can be important in processes that require the recovery or reuse of dissolved materials.
Synonyms
re-dissolve, re-solubilize, reintegrate.
Examples of usage
- The scientist needed to redissolve the compound to continue the experiment.
- In the lab, we attempted to redissolve the precipitate for further analysis.
- After cooling, the solution became cloudy, necessitating a redissolve step.

Etymology
The term 'redissolve' is formed by prefixing 're-' to the verb 'dissolve'. The prefix 're-' comes from Latin, indicating repetition or returning to a previous state. The verb 'dissolve' originates from the Latin 'dissolvere', which combines 'dis-' meaning 'apart' and 'solvere' meaning 'to loosen or free'. Over time, the understanding of dissolution has evolved with advancements in physical chemistry and materials science, especially in the context of solubility and the behavior of mixtures. Redissolving became a relevant term as scientists began to explore recycling materials and understanding solutions at a molecular level.
