synonym for
repeat
reiterate
verb
[ ree-
it
-
uh
-reyt ]
reiterate
is another word for
repeat
The verbs
repeat
and
reiterate
are so close in meaning that reading their definitions might in itself feel like a repetitive act. To
repeat
something is to say or utter it again. To
reiterate
something is to say or do it again, or, to repeat it, often excessively. So how are they different?
Reiterate
is more commonly used for emphasis—that is, to underscore that something is important and therefore worth saying again, perhaps in a different way than first articulated:
At the end of the interview, the candidate reiterated her interest in the role.
Repeat
, on the other hand, is commonly used to talk about the reproduction of words or sounds without the suggestion of importance:

.
Commonly found as
want to reiterate

synonym for
leaf
frond
noun
[ frond ]
frond
is another word for
leaf
We’re pretty sure you know what a
leaf
is—but do you know how a
leaf
differs from a
frond
?
Leaf
is a general term for a wide variety of expanded, usually green organs born by the stem of a plant. The more specific noun
frond
is a term for a large, finely divided leaf. Most commonly,
frond
is used to refer to the leaves of ferns or certain palms. Other useful, nontechnical words we use to differentiate leaves include
needle
(as of a pine),
leaflet
(a small or young leaf), and
blade
(the leaf of a plant, especially of a grass or cereal). Something that bears fronds or that resembles a frond can be described as
frondose
.
Commonly found as

fronds waved
gently in the tropical breeze.
