Root Explanation

Renewably → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "new" (from Old English "neowe", meaning new) and the suffix "-ably" (meaning in a manner that can be). The word "renewably" means in a manner that can be made new again.

Think of doing something 'again' ('re-') to make it 'new' ('new') — that's why renewably means in a way that can be made new again.
