the.com/rematch
The universe's way of saying that one loss doesn't count as the final word.
means A second contest between the same opponents, usually arranged so the loser gets a fair shot at redemption.
from A straightforward English compound: the prefix 're- ('again,' from Latin) bolted onto 'match' in its 'contest between two sides' sense. 'Match' itself is the old word for a fitting pair or equal — two people 'matched' against each other — and goes back to Old English 'gemæcca,' a mate or companion. So a rematch is, quite literally, pairing the same two up once more.
