ricaricate

Ricaricate is a form related to the Italian verb ricaricare, meaning to recharge, top up, or load again. In ordinary usage it appears in two main grammatical functions: as the feminine plural past participle of ricaricare and as the second-person plural present imperative.

As a past participle, ricaricate agrees with feminine plural subjects. For example, Le batterie sono ricaricate means the batteries have been recharged. In this role it is used with auxiliary essere in compound tenses. As the present imperative for voi, ricaricate is a command meaning “you all recharge” or “recharge (you all).” This form is commonly found in instructions or control prompts addressed to multiple people.

Ricaric care is widely used in contexts involving electricity, devices, and communications. It covers recharging batteries for smartphones, laptops, or electric tools; topping up prepaid mobile credit; and recharging fuel or energy storage systems when discussing electric vehicles or energy storage. The term is part of a broader family of verbs built with the prefix ri- (re-), indicating repetition or return, attached to caricare (to load).

Etymologically, ricaricare derives from the prefix ri- (a variation of re-) plus caricare, which itself comes from the Latin or Romance word for loading or charging, extended to modern senses of recharging or reloading.

In summary, ricaricate primarily functions as a grammatical form of ricaricare with specific uses in governance of tense and mood, and it also serves as the imperative for addressing a group. Related terms include ricarica (the noun “recharge” or “top-up”) and ricaricare (the base verb).
