Phrasal Verbs

Etymology

1. 1533, "to do again, repeat," back-formation from iteration (1477), from L. iterationem (nom. iteratio) "repetition," noun of action from iterare "do again, repeat," from iterum "again."
2. The adjective is first attested in 1471, in Middle English, the verb in 1533, the noun in 1941; partly inherited from Middle English iterat(e) (adjective), partly borrowed from Latin iterātus, perfect passive participle of iterō (“to do something for a second time, repeat”) (see -ate (etymology 1, 2 and 3)) , from iterum (“again”) + -ō. Sporadical participial usage of the adjective up until Early Modern English.
