redound
Did You Know?
Although it looks and sounds like a number of similar words (including rebound, resound, abound, and redundant),
redound is a distinct term.
It developed from Middle French redunder,
which in turn came from Latin redundare,
meaning "to overflow."
In its earliest known English uses in the late1300s,
redound meant "to overflow" or "to abound,"
but those senses are now considered archaic.
In current use,
redound is often followed by "to,"
and the effect can be positive (as inour example sentences)
or negative
("[It] probably would have redounded strongly to my disadvantage if I had pursued to completion my resolution...."
- Joseph Heller, God Knows).
Dictionary of Problem Words and Expression
Rebound & redound & resound
These “look-alikes” are easily confused.
Rebound means “to spring back,” “to cast back,” “to recoil”:
“If you really want to, you can rebound from that bad luck.”
As a noun, rebound means “a bouncing back”:
“The center of that basketball team captured thirty rebounds during the game.”
Redound means “to have an effect or result,”
“to contribute,” “to accrue,” “to add to”:
“This generous act will redound to your credit.”
Although a few lexicographers include
“recoil” as one meaning of redound,
that meaning is better confined to rebound.
Think of rebounding as “bounding”
and of redounding as “deeds.”
