What are English derivatives of the latin word redire?

The Latin word *redire* (to go back, return) doesn't have direct, readily identifiable English derivatives in the way that, say, *scribere* (to write) leads to "scribe" and related words. Its influence is largely indirect and seen through its participation in the formation of other Latin words which *then* became the roots of English words.

For example:

* Redintegrate: While not a direct descendant, it shares the root meaning of restoring something to its former state, incorporating the "re-" prefix signifying "back" or "again" from *redire*'s composition and the concept of returning to a prior state.

The impact of *redire* is largely seen in the prefix "re-" which is widely used in English to denote repetition, reversal, or return. Many words using "re-" have etymological roots leading back to Latin prefixes with similar meaning, and *redire* is part of that family of concepts, though not the sole or even primary source of "re-".
