Root Explanation

Recapping → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "capere" (meaning to take or seize). The word "recapping" means to take or summarize something again, often referring to a summary or review of previously discussed material.

Memory Tip

Think of 'taking' something 'again' — 're-' means again, and 'capere' means to take. This helps you remember that recapping means to summarize or review something once more.
