Root Explanation

Recallable → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "call" (from Old French *calle*, meaning to summon or name) and "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "recallable" means capable of being called back or summoned again.

Memory Tip

Think of being able to 'call' something 'again' — 're-' means again, and 'call' means to summon.
