Root Explanation

Anew → The word is formed from the prefix "a-" (meaning on or in a) and "new" (from Old English "niwe", meaning not existing before). The term "anew" means to do something again or in a new way.

Memory Tip

Think of doing something 'in a new way' — 'a-' suggests a state of being, and 'new' indicates something fresh or different.
