Root Explanation

Remastering → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "master" (from Old French *maistre*, meaning one who has control or authority). The word "remastering" means to create a new version of a recording or work, giving it a fresh quality or clarity, as if mastering it again.

Memory Tip

Think of doing something 'again' ('re-') to improve or take control of it ('master'). This helps you remember that remastering means to enhance or redo a work.
