Root Explanation

Reaffirmation → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "affirmare" (meaning to assert or confirm) and the suffix "-tion" (meaning the action or process of). The word "reaffirmation" means the action of asserting or confirming something again.

Memory Tip

Think of 'asserting again' — 're-' means again, 'affirmare' means to assert, and '-tion' indicates the action. This helps you remember that reaffirmation is about confirming something once more.
