restock
補充する
解説 Definition
減った在庫を新しい商品で補充すること。売れた物を新たに仕入れること。
To restock means to supply something again after it has been sold, used, or taken away. It is commonly used in shops, warehouses, and online sales when products become available again.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
stock を「在庫」と知っていれば、re- が付いて「在庫をもう一度そろえる」と考えると覚えやすいです。スーパーやECで、売れて棚が薄くなった商品を補い直す場面を思い浮かべると定着します。よく restock shelves / restock inventory / restock the store の形で使います。refill は容器に中身を足す感じ、replenish は資源や体力にも広く使えますが、restock は「商品在庫を補充する」に寄りやすい語。out of stock とセットで覚えると混同しにくいです。
Split it into `re-` meaning again and `stock` meaning supply or store goods. `Restock` is the word stores use when an item becomes available again after being sold out. It is common in shopping messages like `When will it restock?` or `Notify me when it restocks.`
例文

We will restock the popular items that sold out last week.
先週売り切れた人気商品を再入荷する予定です。

restock の語源・成り立ち Etymology
接頭辞 re-「再び」と、古英語 stocc 由来の stock「蓄え・在庫」から成る。stockpile や livestock と同じく「ためて持つ」が核なので、restock は単に入れるのでなく、減った蓄えを元の厚みに戻す感覚を表す。
Restock is made from `re-`, meaning "again," and `stock`, from Old English `stocc`, which came to mean a store or supply. The core idea of `stock` is something kept or stored up, as in `stockpile`. So `restock` means bringing a supply back to its former level after it has been used or reduced.
