Did you see that they released a new reimpression of the classic novel?

Yeah, I heard about it! It's nice to see those old stories getting another chance.

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Reimpression → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "impression" (from Latin "impressio", meaning a pressing in or imprint). The word "reimpression" means the act of making an impression again or reproducing something that has already been printed or impressed.

Memory Tip

Think of making an 'imprint' ('impression') 'again' ('re-') — that's why reimpression means to create an impression once more.
