Root Explanation

Reorder → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "ordo" (from Latin, meaning order). The word "reorder" means to arrange or organize something again.

Memory Tip

Think of doing something 'again' ('re-') to put things in 'order' ('ordo') — that's why reorder means to arrange things again.
