French word: rempiler


Meaning in English:

The verb rempiler generally means:

  1. To reenlist / to re-sign up:
    Often used in military or organizational contexts to indicate that someone commits again to service or to continue their engagement.
    Example: "Il a décidé de rempiler pour un an de plus." — "He decided to reenlist for one more year."

  2. To stack again / to pile up again:
    Can be used more literally to mean putting piles or stacks back together or stacking more items.


Word parts:

  • re- (prefix) means "again" or "back."
  • -pil(er) comes from pile, meaning a pile or stack.

So rempiler literally means "to pile again" or "stack again," and figuratively "to sign up again."

    • remiliter (less common, specific to military)
