Root Explanation

Reaccept → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "accept" (from Latin "acceptare", meaning to receive). The word "reaccept" means to receive something again or to accept it once more.

Memory Tip

Think of 'again' ('re-') and 'receiving' something ('accept') — that's why reaccept means to accept something again.
