Root Explanation

Republisher → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "publish" (from Latin "publicare", meaning to make public) and "-er" (meaning a person who). The word "republisher" means a person who makes something public again, typically by reissuing or reprinting it.

Memory Tip

Think of someone making something public 'again' ('re-') — that's why a republisher is a person who publishes something again.
