Have you thought about the recommitment to our fitness goals this year?

Root Explanation

Recommitment → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "commitment" (from Latin "committere", meaning to entrust or to commit). The word "recommitment" means the act of committing again or renewing a commitment.

Memory Tip

Think of 'again' ('re-') and 'entrusting' or 'committing' ('commitment') — that's why recommitment means to commit again.
