Etymology

Cognate with Galician: reprender

Inherited from Latin: reprendere

Cognate with Spanish: reprender

In summary

From Old Galician-Portuguese reprender (compare Galician reprender), from Latin reprendere, variant of reprehendere (compare Spanish reprender, Catalan and French reprendre). The older, inherited form, reprender (not to be confused with a separate word of the same spelling composed from re- and prender) was modified to more closely reflect the Latin etymon.
