Root Explanation

Redial → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "dial" (from Old French *dialer*, meaning to select or choose). The word "redial" means to select or choose a number again, typically on a telephone.

Memory Tip

Think of 'again' ('re-') when you 'select' a number ('dial') on your phone — that's why redial means to call the same number again.
