Root Explanation

Redeploy → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "deploy" (from Latin "plicare", meaning to fold). The word "redeploy" means to fold or arrange again, typically in a military or strategic context.

Memory Tip

Think of doing something 'again' ('re-') with a new arrangement ('deploy') — that's why redeploy means to arrange again.
