Root Explanation
Recross → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "cross" (from Old English "cros", meaning to traverse or go across). The word "recross" means to cross again or to traverse a path once more.
Memory Tip
Think of crossing something 'again' — 're-' means again, and 'cross' refers to going across. This helps you remember that recross means to cross over once more.
