Morphology

recuperate = re + cuper + ate

Although formed with recognizable affixes, the non‑English central root makes it hard for learners to infer the specific sense 'regain (losses)' from the components alone.

Etymology

Recuperate comes from the Latin recuperare, which means 'get back' and carries the same idea as recover. So to recuperate (in money) is to get back what you lost and return to a better financial state.
