I noticed my poster fell off the wall again.

Oh no! Did you need to reaffix it?

Root Explanation

Reaffix → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "affix" (from Latin "affixus", meaning to fasten or attach). The word "reaffix" means to attach something again.

Memory Tip

Think of 'attaching' something ('affix') 'again' ('re-') — that's why reaffix means to attach it once more.
