Why does the word “repose” not have sense of “re”(again) in it?












0















I just looked for the definition of "repose". It was defined as



to place (confidence, trust, etc.) in someone or something



Now I'm pondering over why does the definition not include the sense of "re" (again) in it. Is it because it's not a hard and fast rule?
