re
ὦ διάνοια, ἐὰν ἐρευνᾷς τοὺς ἱεροφαντηθέντας λόγους μὲν θεοῦ, νόμους δὲ ἀνθρώπων θεοφιλῶν, οὐδὲν ταπεινὸν οὐδ᾽ ἀνάξιον τοῦ μεγέθους αὐτῶν ἀναγκασθήσῃ παραδέχεσθαι → if, O my understanding, thou searchest on this wise into the oracles which are both words of God and laws given by men whom God loves, thou shalt not be compelled to admit anything base or unworthy of their dignity
Latin > English (Lewis & Short)
rĕ: or with
I d demonstrative (see the letter D), rĕd (so, too, before vowels and h; also in red-do, and with the union-vowel i in rĕdĭ-vivus. In reicio and often in later Latin re is found before vowels and h; e. g. reaedifico, reexinanio, reinvito, etc. Assimilation of the d before consonants produced the forms relligio, relliquiae, reccido; and the suppression of the d may account for the frequent lengthening of the e by poets in rēduco, rēlatum. The orthography and quantity of words compounded with re are in general somewhat arbitrary, especially in the ante- and post-class. poets). An inseparable particle, whose fundamental signification answers to the Engl. again and against. Thus, it denotes either,
a A turning back ward (Engl. back): recedo, recurro, reicio, remitto, resolvo, etc.; or,
b An opposition: reboo, reclamo, redamo, reluctor, repugno; and,
II Trop.
1 A restoration of a thing to its original condition (e. g. a freeing or loosing from a state of constraint; Engl. re-, un-): redintegro, reficio, restituo, relaxo, relego, resero, recludo, resolvo, retego, etc.—
2 A transition into an opposite state: recharmido, reprobo (opp. comprobo), retracto, revelo.—
3 A repetition of an action: recoquo, resumo, reviso, etc.—
4 It is sometimes intensive, as redundo.

(1) rĕ, rĕd, particule formant des mots composés ; re devant les cons. : reduco, rebello, etc. || red devant les voy. : redeo, redigo, etc. ; assimilé dans relliquiæ, relligio, reccido ; avec i de liaison dans redivivus.
(2) rē, abl. de res : re vera, v. res S II.
Latin > German (Georges)
re, Praepos. inseparab., bezeichnet in der Zusammensetzung teils zurück, wie in recurro, teils entgegen, wie in reluctor, u. in übertragener Bedeutung bald die Wiederherstellung in den früheren Zustand, wie in restituo, bald den Übergang in einen entgegengesetzten Zustand, wie in reprobo, bald ein Bringen an den gehörigen Ort usw., in den gehörigen Zustand, wie in repono, reddo, restituo, bald endlich die Wiederholung einer Handlung, wie in re sumo. – Die ursprüngliche Form ist wohl red, wie von se die Form sed, weil die alte Sprache hinter die Vokale am Schlusse noch ein d zu setzen pflegte. Aus red wird dann nach Umständen entweder redi, wie in redivivus, od. re, wie in recedo.
