Description

Imagine building with LEGO bricks. A build like this is not just something you can do once. It follows steps that are clear enough for you to do again and get the same result. That's what "repeatable" means: something that can be done again in the same way with the same result.

It's often used in science and technology to describe experiments or processes that give the same outcome when done again. A chef might want recipes that come out the same every time. It can also fit everyday life. For example, a work process is repeatable if it keeps working well and does not depend too much on luck or special conditions.
