To build???
Does this word actually come from words meaning 'to build'? This seems more closely related to "abscond," where 'cond' deals with hiding something or stowing it away.
 * That was a bad translation. Recondere can mean "re-establish" but really its usual meaning was "to hide". So yes, you're basically right, it is cognate with the cond in abscond:. < class="latinx" >Ƿidsiþ 15:57, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Pronunciation
I've restored the OneLook cite as a reference for the definition as "learnèd" which the OED omits. However, OneLook's pronunciations are simply wrong and the OED's should be maintained. — LlywelynII  19:44, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
