Root Explanation

Rechannel → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "channel" (from Old French *canal*, meaning a conduit or passage for water). The word "rechannel" means to create a new passage or route again, often referring to redirecting something like water or information.

Memory Tip

Think of 'again' ('re-') and a 'passage' ('channel') — when you rechannel, you are creating a new passage again.
