I know the word "recap" is short for something, but what is it short for?
I was watching american football. The announcer said he would give us
viewers a "recap" of the game. I know a recap means a short version of the
more interesting parts of the game. At work some of the guys I work with
said it used to be a term used by poorer folks who couldn't afford new
tires; they would "recap" their tires with new tread. What is recap short
for?
