Root Explanation

Renest → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "nest" (from Old English "nest", meaning a structure built by birds for laying eggs). The word "renest" means to build or occupy a nest again.

Memory Tip

Think of 'again' ('re-') and a 'nest' where birds lay their eggs — that's why renest means to build a nest again.
