Meaning of recontra




furoya

recontra
  3

It is a form of superlative often used as a prefix. It has a strange construction, because while re- is an intensifier, contra- is "opposite", although in the Caribbean – especially in Cuba – the noun contra is used as "yapa, addition", which may explain the origin of 'recontra'. See requetecontra, requete- .
