RESHINGLE Meaning and
Definition
-
"Reshingle" is a verb that refers to the act of replacing or renewing the shingles on a roof or any other surface. Shingles are thin, flat pieces of material, usually made of wood, asphalt, slate, or metal, that are overlappingly laid in rows to provide a protective covering for a roof or wall.
When a building's roof starts showing signs of wear and tear, such as leaks, missing or damaged shingles, or general deterioration, it becomes necessary to reshingle it. This involves removing the old shingles, inspecting the underlying structure for any damage or issues that may need to be addressed, and then installing new shingles. Reshingling is crucial for maintaining the integrity and functionality of a roof, ensuring it remains watertight and well-insulated.
The process of reshingling typically involves several steps, including removing the old shingles and disposing of them, repairing any damaged areas, laying down a moisture barrier or underlayment, and finally installing new shingles in an appropriate pattern. The choice of materials and techniques used for reshingling may vary depending on the type of shingles and the climate conditions of the area.
Overall, reshingling plays a vital role in preserving and protecting a building's roof, preventing further damage caused by water leaks or exposure to the elements. It is a necessary measure to maintain the aesthetics, functionality, and durability of a structure for an extended period.
Etymology of RESHINGLE
The word "reshingle" is derived from the combination of two roots: "re" and "shingle".
The prefix "re-" in English is a Latin prefix meaning "again" or "back", indicating repetition or return to a previous state. It is commonly used to denote the act of doing something again or anew.
The term "shingle" comes from the Old English word "scingel", which means a thin, oblong piece of wood used for covering roofs or walls. "Scingel" itself is derived from the Latin word "scindula", which refers to a type of roofing tile.
Therefore, the word "reshingle" is formed by combining the prefix "re-" meaning "again" with "shingle", referring to the act of covering a roof or wall with new or replacement shingles.
