Root Explanation
Reissue → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "issuere" (from Latin "issuere", meaning to send out). The word "reissue" means to send out again, typically referring to the release of a new edition or version of something.
Memory Tip
Think of sending something 'again' ('re-') — that's why reissue means to send it out again.
