Etymology

[edit]

From Middle English reprise (noun) and reprisen (verb), from Old French reprise, from reprendre. In some senses borrowed anew from Modern French reprise.

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • IPA(key): /ɹɪˈpɹiːz/, /ɹɪˈpɹaɪz/, sometimes even /ˌɹiˈpɹaɪz/
  • Audio (Southern England):(file)
  • Audio (Southern England):(file)
  • Rhymes: -iːz, -aɪz
  • The verb is usually pronounced /ɹɪˈpɹaɪz/. The pronunciation of the noun varies, but the music and fencing senses are most often pronounced /ɹɪˈpɹiːz/ (reflecting their more recent French origin), while both pronunciations are common for the other noun senses.
