Rebranding is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "brand" (from Old English "brand", meaning a mark or a burning). The word refers to the act of creating a new image or identity for a product or company, essentially marking it again with a new identity.
Think of 're-' meaning again, and 'brand' as a mark or identity. This helps you remember that rebranding is about creating a new identity or mark for something.
