Root Explanation

Republish → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "publish" (from Latin "publicare", meaning to make public). The word "republish" means to make something public again, typically referring to reissuing a work or document.

Memory Tip

Think of making something 'public' ('publish') 'again' ('re-') — that's why republish means to make it public once more.
