Root Explanation

Rebook → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "book" (from Old English "bōc", meaning a written work or record). The word "rebook" means to book something again, such as a reservation or appointment.

Memory Tip

Think of doing something 'again' ('re-') with a 'written record' ('book') — that's why rebooking means to make a new reservation.
