Root Explanation

Regarding → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "gardare" (from Old French *regarder*, meaning to look at or consider). The word "regarding" means looking at or considering something again or in relation to it.

Memory Tip

Think of 'looking at' something again ('re-') — that's why regarding means to consider or think about something.
