About

The word 重复 is formed by combining the character 重, which here denotes "again" or "re-", with the character 复, meaning "to return" or "to duplicate"; their semantic alignment directly creates a compound signifying the act of doing something another time, resulting in the meaning "to repeat" or "repetition".
