It comes from the French repêchage (literally - re-fishing) and refers to the practice in ladder competitions to allow competitors who just miss out on a place to compete with other highly performing competitors for a position in the next rung of the competition. It is designed to allow competitors to not be penalised by the luck of the draw.
