Root Explanation

Reeducation → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "educare" (meaning to lead out or bring up). The word refers to the process of leading someone to learn or understand something again, often to correct previous learning or behavior.

Memory Tip

Think of 'leading out' ('educare') someone 'again' ('re-') — that's why reeducation means to teach or guide someone anew.
