Etymology
The word 'redouble' originates from the prefix 're-' meaning back or again, combined with 'double', which denotes an increase. The term 'double' comes from the Old French 'dobler', which in turn is derived from the Latin 'duplex', meaning 'twofold' or 'two'. The earliest recorded use of 'redouble' in the English language dates back to the late 17th century, where it was often used in contexts of amplifying actions or commitments. Over time, it has evolved to encompass both literal and figurative senses of increasing efforts or intensity in various domains, such as work, emotions, and strategic initiatives.
