reciterecite: [15] Recite came, probably via Old French reciter, from Latin recitāre ‘read out’. This was a compound verb formed from the prefix re- ‘back, again’ and citāre ‘call, summon’ (source also of English cite, excite, incite, etc). Recitative ‘speech-like singing’ [17] was borrowed from Italian recitativo.=> cite, excite, inciterecite (v.)early 15c., from Old French reciter (12c.) and directly from Latin recitare "read aloud, read out, repeat from memory, declaim," from re- "back, again" (see re-) + citare "to summon" (see cite). Related: Recited; reciting."
