What Does âRe:â Stand For? Posted on March 20, 2010 by thewritecorner Today one of my students asked me what âre:â stood for in the subject lines of e-mails (and letters). I thought Iâd write the answer here, too, since many people take it to mean something else. âRe:â is what is written in the subject line of e-mails (and in letters) to tell the receiver what the topic of the message is. For example: âRe: Your articleâ. Most people take this âre:â to stand for âreferenceâ or âregardingâ. The reason for this could be that both these words start with the letters âreâ, and what follows these letters is actually referring to the topic of the message. However, this is a misconception. What âreâ actually stands for is the Latin word âresâ. âReâ is the ablative form of the noun âresâ, which means âthingâ or âaffairâ. Therefore, âreâ means âabout the thingâ or âabout the affairâ.
