Root Explanation

Reconcentrate → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "concentrare" (from Latin, meaning to bring together). The word means to bring together again or to focus again.

Memory Tip

Think of 'bringing together' ('concentrare') once more ('re-') — that's why reconcentrate means to focus again.
