redactv.

Brit.

/rᵻˈdakt/, U.S.

/rəˈdæk(t)/,

/riˈdæk(t)/

Forms:

α. late Middle English redacte, late Middle English redacte (past tense), 1500s– redact; Scottish pre-1700 redact (past participle), pre-1700 reidact, pre-1700 1700s– redact.

β. Scottish pre-1700 redack, pre-1700 redak.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin redact-, redigere.

Etymology: < classical Latin redact-, past participial stem of redigere to drive or send back, return, to bring back, restore, to convert, reduce, to bring (into a condition), to bring (under a category), to bring into line < red- , variant (before a vowel) of re- re- prefix + agere to drive (see act v.). In sense 4 after redaction n.; compare also rédacteur n., redacter n., redactor n. The word apparently became obsolete in the mid 18th cent., and was reintroduced in sense 4 in the early 19th cent. The dictionaries of Ash (1775) and Todd (1818) mark the word as ‘not used’. Compare Middle French rediger , French rédiger redige v., Middle French redacter to put into writing (16th cent. in an isolated attestation). Compare also edit v.With the forms redacte, redact for the past tense and past participle, compare redact adj. The former is frequent in the later version of Higden's Polychronicon (compare quots. ?a1475¹ and ?a1475² at sense 1). The β. forms of the present tense and infinitive in Scots probably represent analogical formations arising from identification of the final dental of the past participle redact with -ed suffix¹.
