Root Explanation
Redyeing → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "dye" (from Old English "dīgan", meaning to color or stain). The word "redyeing" means to color or stain something again.
Memory Tip
Think of doing the action of coloring ('dye') something 'again' ('re-') — that's why redyeing means to color it once more.
