Root Explanation

Rehash → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "hash" (from the verb meaning to chop or mix). The word "rehash" means to present something again, often in a new form or with slight modifications, as if chopping it up and mixing it anew.

Memory Tip

Think of doing something 'again' ('re-') with a mixture ('hash') — that's why rehash means to present something in a new way.
