Root Explanation

Repeatedly → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "petere" (meaning to seek or strive). The word "repeatedly" means to seek or do something again and again.

Memory Tip

Think of doing something 'again' ('re-') and 'seeking' it out ('petere') — that's why repeatedly means doing it over and over.
