Root Explanation

Reproducible → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "producere" (meaning to lead forth or bring forth) and the suffix "-ible" (meaning capable of). The word "reproducible" means capable of being brought forth again or repeated.

Memory Tip

Think of something that can be 'brought forth again' ('re-' means again and 'producere' means to lead forth). This helps you remember that 'reproducible' refers to something that can be repeated or recreated.
