Root Explanation

Remastered → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "master" (from Old French *maistre*, meaning one who has control or authority). The word "remastered" means to create a new version of something, typically music or film, with improved quality or features, as if mastering it again.

Memory Tip

Think of doing something 'again' ('re-') to improve it under the guidance of a 'master' — that's why remastered means to enhance or recreate something.
