also redout, “small, enclosed military work,” c.1600, from French redoute (17c.), from Italian ridotto, earlier ridotta, “place of retreat,” from Medieval Latin reductus “place of refuge, retreat,” noun use of past participle of reducere “to lead or bring back” (see reduce). The -b- was added by influence of unrelated English redoubt (v.) “to dread, fear” (see redoubtable). As an adjective, Latin reductus meant “withdrawn, retired; remote, distant.”
