Root Explanation

Reman → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "man" (from Old English "mann", meaning human being or person). The word "reman" means to remain or stay again, often implying a return to a previous state or position.

Memory Tip

Think of 'again' ('re-') and a 'person' ('man') who stays in the same place — that's why reman means to stay again.
