Root Explanation

Recopy → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "copy" (from Latin "copia", meaning to reproduce or duplicate). The word "recopy" means to make a copy again or to duplicate something once more.

Memory Tip

Think of doing something 'again' ('re-') when you 'duplicate' ('copy') — that's why recopy means to make another copy.
