Etymology of REBURY

The word rebury is a compound word that is formed by combining the prefix re- which means again or back and the verb bury which means to put in the ground and cover with earth.

The noun bury originated from the Old English word byrgan, which has a Germanic origin. It is related to the Old Norse word byrgja and the Old High German word burgan. These words meant to protect or to shelter.

The prefix re- comes from the Latin prefix re- or red- which means back or again. It is used to indicate repetition or reversal of an action.

Thus, when combined, rebury literally means to bury again or to put back in the ground and cover with earth once more.
