I read about a new experiment that’s really replicable for anyone to try.

Oh, that sounds interesting! What was it about?

Root Explanation

Replicable → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "plicare" (meaning to fold or to weave). The word "replicable" means capable of being folded or woven again, or able to be reproduced.

Memory Tip

Think of doing something 'again' ('re-') and 'folding' or 'weaving' it ('plicare') — that's why replicable means something that can be reproduced.
