Did you know that some materials can reemit light after absorbing it?

Really? That sounds interesting!

Yeah, it's like how glow-in-the-dark stuff works; it reemits light slowly.

Root Explanation

Reemit → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "emit" (from Latin "emittere", meaning to send out). The word "reemit" means to send out again or to issue again.

Memory Tip

Think of sending something 'again' ('re-') — that's why reemit means to send it out once more.
