Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Formed in English by combining the prefix 're-' (denoting repetition or return to a previous state, from Latin) with 'accelerate', which derives from the Latin 'acceleratus', past participle of 'accelerare' (to hasten, from 'ad-' toward + 'celer' swift). It emerged in scientific and technical contexts during the 20th century to describe an increase in speed following a deceleration.
