repertory: repertory: [16] A repertory is etymologically a list of things ‘found’. The word was adopted from late Latin repertōrium, a derivative of reperīre ‘find out’. This was formed from the base *per- ‘attempt’, which has also given English experience, expert, peril, pirate, etc. The sense ‘list of plays, pieces of music, etc performed’ was introduced from French in the 19th century, along with the French form repertoire.
=> experience, expert, peril, pirate
repertory (n.): 1550s, "an index, list, catalogue," from Late Latin repertorium "inventory, list," from Latin repertus, past participle of reperire "to find, get, invent," from re-, intensive prefix (see re-), + parire, archaic form of paerere "produce, bring forth," from PIE root *per- "attempt" (see parent (n.)). Meaning "list of performances" is first recorded 1845, from Anglicized use of repertoire; repertory theater is attested from 1896. Related: Repertorial.
