Root Explanation

Redux is derived from the Latin "reducere" (meaning to lead back), which is composed of "re-" (meaning back) and "ducere" (meaning to lead). The term "redux" refers to something that has been brought back or revived.

Memory Tip

Think of something being 'led back' ('re-' means back and 'ducere' means to lead) — that's why redux means something that has been brought back.
