Etymology
The Dutch word "repareren" comes from the Latin verb "reparare," which means to restore or repair. This root is also the origin of the English word "repair." Did you know? The Latin "reparare" combines 're-' meaning 'again' and 'parare' meaning 'to prepare or make ready,' so "repareren" essentially means to 'make ready again.'
