+ '''réparer'''^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[bor|la|reparō|t=to prepare again; to restore, renew]], from [[m|la|re-]] with iterative force and [[m|la|parō|t=to prepare]] (see [[parer]]).^(TLFi)^(DHLF 1992)^(Grand Robert 2005)^(GLLF 1989)^(FEW|10, 259b) [[réparation|alt=Réparation]] (1310) and [[réparateur]] (1350) were borrowed from the Late Latin derivatives [[m|la-lat|reparātiō]] and [[m|la-lat|reparātor]].^(Bloch & Wartburg 1989)^(DHLF 1992)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ ''Eneas'' (about 1130–1160) has ''reparer le fosset'' “to repair the ditch”, and Wace has ''fossé reparé'';^(TLFi)^(DHLF 1992)^(GLLF 1989) Benoît de Sainte-Maure writes of repairing walls about 1175.^(TLFi)^(DHLF 1992)^(GLLF 1989)

+ Chrétien de Troyes uses it in the ''Chevalier de la charrette'' (1176–1181) for restoring a person to health and strength, and Pomey has ''réparer ses forces'' in 1671.^(TLFi)^(DHLF 1992) The ''Roman de la Rose'' (1269–1278) speaks of restoring one's lineage, and about 1350 Gilles li Muisis of Christ's restoring mankind to its first dignity.^(TLFi)^(DHLF 1992)

+

+ The sense “to make up for (a wrong or its consequences)” is found in 1346, and Robert Estienne records ''réparer un dommage'' and ''réparer une injure'' in 1538.^(TLFi)^(DHLF 1992) ''Réparer son honneur'' is in Nicot (1606), and about 1690 ''réparer l'honneur'' of a seduced woman meant to marry her.^(TLFi)^(DHLF 1992)
