repeats
Goes over again
Repeats are things that occur again—reruns of television shows, recurring patterns, or second helpings: no repeats on the playlist, The channel runs nothing but repeats.
In music, a repeat is a passage played twice, often marked by repeat signs.
As a verb form, repeats describes saying or doing something again: History repeats itself, She repeats everything I tell her.
