+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|re-|colō#1|t1=again|t2=to till, inhabit]].^(OLD 2012)^(TLL)^(Wiktionary) De Vaan traces [[m|la|colō#1]] to [[itc-pro|*kwele/o-]] and [[ine-pro|*kwelh1-e/o-|t=to go round]].^(de Vaan 2008) Cognate with [[grc|πέλομαι|tr=pélomai|t=to move]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is to occupy a place again, as in Phaedrus' fable, where no one gladly returns to a place that has hurt him,^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) and to cultivate land afresh, as Livy's deserted land, or to work a mine again.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) More widely it means to resume a pursuit or practice, to revive or renew something, and to renew the worship of a god, as Statius' yearly feasts that renew the rites.^(OLD 2012) From going over a thing again it came to mean going over it in the mind, recalling, as in Cicero's ''Philippics''.^(OLD 2012) The TLL notes that Church writers use it often,^(TLL) and in Church Latin it means to contemplate, recollect or reflect on, as well as to repair or renew.^(Stelten 1995)
