- sowbug 8y agoIf you factored algebraic expressions in high school, and you agree that the "re" prefix generally can be added to a verb, then it's already part of your lexicon. The process of code refactoring, especially extracting common code into a method, is very similar to the process of simplifying algebraic expressions. So it's not just a grammar argument; the two words really do represent related concepts.
