Root Explanation

Readdress → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "address" (from Old French *adresser*, meaning to direct or to put in order). The word "readdress" means to direct or put in order again, often referring to changing the destination of a message or package.

Memory Tip

Think of 'again' ('re-') and 'directing' something ('address') — that's why readdress means to direct something again.
