Where it comes from
Learned borrowing from Late Latin repertōrium. Doublet of repertoire.
noun repertories
- A repertoire.
- A collection of things, or a place where such a collection is kept.
- A specific set of works that a company performs.
- A theater in which a resident company presents works from a specified repertoire, usually in alternation. Since “Masques” was my first exposure to Stage I, My admiration of that production spawned an intense enthusiasm for the seven-year-old company, which, unfortunately, was quickly dampened by seeing “Icarus,” which runs in repertory with “Masques.”
- A cinema specializing in classic or older films.
