Root Explanation

Recompilation → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "compilare" (meaning to compile). The word refers to the act of compiling something again, often in the context of programming or data processing.

Memory Tip

Think of doing something 'again' ('re-') that involves 'putting together' ('compilare') information or code — that's why recompilation means to compile again.
