Conversation

Have you heard about the reauthorization process for our project?

Yeah, I read something about it; it's supposed to be easier this time.

I hope so, because the last one took forever to complete.

Exactly! I really don't want to go through that again.

Root Explanation

Reauthorization → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "authorization" (from Latin "auctorizare", meaning to give authority). The word "reauthorization" means to give authority again or to renew authorization.

Memory Tip

Think of giving authority 'again' ('re-') — that's why reauthorization means renewing the permission or authority.
