Root Explanation
Recombined → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "combinare" (from Latin, meaning to combine). The word "recombined" means to combine again or to bring together once more.
Memory Tip
Think of combining things 'again' ('re-') — that's why recombined means to combine them once more.
