Lemma: ξαναπαντρεύομαι
Translation: to remarry; to get married again; to wed again (verb)
Etymology: Compound word formed from 'ξανά' (again, once more) + 'παντρεύομαι' (to marry). The verb 'παντρεύομαι' derives from Ancient Greek 'πανδρεύω' (to give in marriage), which comes from 'πᾶς' (all) + 'ἀνήρ' (man, husband). The prefix 'ξανά' indicates repetition of the action.
Example Usage
Ξαναπαντρεύτηκε μετά από δέκα χρόνια χηρείας.
She remarried after ten years of widowhood.

I don't want to remarry after the divorce.

Cultural Context
In Greek society, remarriage has become more common in recent decades as divorce rates have increased. Traditionally, the Orthodox Church has restrictions on how many times a person can marry in a religious ceremony, with a third marriage requiring special permission and a fourth marriage being prohibited.
Easily Confused With
Explanation: While 'παντρεύομαι' means 'to get married' (for the first time), 'ξαναπαντρεύομαι' specifically means 'to remarry' or 'to get married again' (for a second or subsequent time).
Notes: The prefix 'ξανα-' can be added to many verbs to indicate repetition of an action.
Mnemonic: Remember that 'ξανα-' means 'again' or 're-', so it's like adding 're-' to 'marry'.
