Root Explanation

Reexportation → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "exportation" (from Latin "exportare", meaning to carry out). The word refers to the act of exporting goods again or a second time.

Memory Tip

Think of 're-' meaning again and 'exportation' meaning to carry out — so reexportation means to carry out goods again.
