Etymology
Recoin is a French noun meaning a corner or recess. It was coined in the early modern period by compounding the prefix re‑ (“again, back”) with *coin* (“corner, wedge”), the latter coming from Old French *coign* (from Latin *cuneus* “wedge, angle”). The word entered French in the 16th century and has kept its modern spelling ever since.
