The prefix "re-" generally means "again", "back", or "anew". It indicates a repetition or renewal of an action or process.

Here are some examples:

* Rewind: To wind something back to its starting point.

* Rebuild: To build something again after it has been destroyed.

* Retire: To withdraw from active work.

* Repeat: To say or do something again.
