Rewind, reverse, revert, remove, recover, refute...

Well you got me on reverse

rewind = to wind again wind, after a previous winding
recover = to get better or fix once again
revert = to go back to a previous habit
remove = to move elsewhere, from the place having been once moved before
recover = to get better once again
refute = A bit harder, but :

Word Origin & History

refute
1513, "refuse, reject," from L. refutare "drive back, repress, repel, rebut," from re- "back" + -futare "to beat," probably from PIE base *bhat- "to strike down" (cf. beat ). Meaning "prove wrong" dates from 1545. Since c.1964 linguists have frowned on the subtle shift in meaning towards "to deny," as it is used in connection with allegation.

yep its an english re, to once again.

You got one though.

Only one? Allow me two and then maybe you'll ponder the others again...

Recover. To recover a piece of lost property. For example - finding a lost ring 'neath a stone. The stone was COVERing the ring, lifting the stone uncovers the ring, which allows you to RECOVER the ring.

Let us all rejoice at our revelry in reminding the real meaning of words.
The rewards are relentless, regardless of the outcome of this rehearsal called life.
