repeat
When used as a verb, "repeat" often refers to speaking something again for clarity. It is common in classrooms or professional meetings when someone didn't hear a statement the first time. As an adjective (like in "repeat offender"), it describes someone who does the same thing multiple times, usually referring to negative behaviors or crimes. In some contexts, like television, a "repeat" refers to an episode of a show that is being broadcast again after its original air date.
