Root Explanation
Reexamined → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "examinare" (from Latin, meaning to weigh or test). The word means to test or weigh something again, indicating a second look or review.
Memory Tip
Think of 'again' ('re-') and 'to test' ('examinare') — this helps you remember that 'reexamined' means to test something again.
