Forms: 1700s– re, 1900s– re. (with point (irregular)).

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin rē, rēs.

Etymology: < classical Latin rē, ablative of rēs thing, affair (see res n.¹).The use as a preposition was formerly much criticized in usage guides. See e.g. H. W. Fowler Mod. Eng. Usage (1926) 255/2, and compare quot. 1935, which parodies this use. The form re. probably results from reanalysis as showing an abbreviation for regarding prep.
