Like many other "re-" words it comes ultimately from a Latin prefix
meaning "again". Originally "refrigeration" meant "making som cool
again" and was used to refer to bringing down the temperature of
somebody who had a fever. At some stage the meaning then changed to
"keep cool" and was then applied to the technique of food preservation.
