Rewind audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "Rewind" — verb, pronounced /ˌriːˈwaɪnd/, with the stress on "wind".
Narrator: To rewind is to make a recording go back to an earlier point.
Narrator: In plain English, it means go back in a video or song.
Narrator: It joins re with wind, as in winding tape back on a spool.
Narrator: A common collocation is "rewind the tape", which describes an old cassette or video habit.
