Conversation

Have you ever thought about the process of reassemblage in art?

Yeah, it's fascinating how artists can take old pieces and create something new.

Root Explanation

Reassemblage → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "assemblage" (from Old French *assemblage*, meaning a gathering or collection). The word "reassemblage" means the act of gathering or putting things together again.

Memory Tip

Think of 'again' ('re-') and a 'gathering' ('assemblage') — that's why reassemblage means to gather things together once more.
