Redound is a verb that means to contribute greatly to.

Our word of the day comes from the Latin word redundare (ree done DAR ay) which means, ‘to overflow.’ This word later evolved into redound which is used to mean ‘to lead to’ or ‘contribute to.’

My daughter was frustrated by the ‘b’ she got on her science project, but I’m convinced that her hard work ethic will redound to her success.
