Root Explanation

Rescaling → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "scale" (from Latin "scala", meaning ladder or scale). The word "rescaling" means adjusting or changing the scale or size of something again.

Memory Tip

Think of adjusting something 'again' ('re-') on a 'scale' — that's why rescaling means to change the size or scale once more.
