Root Explanation
Reinterpreted → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "interpretari" (meaning to explain or understand). The word means to explain or understand something again, often in a new way.
Memory Tip
Think of 'interpreting' something 'again' — 're-' means again, and 'interpretari' means to explain. This helps you remember that 'reinterpreted' means to explain something in a new way.
