Root Explanation

Rescreen → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "screen" (from Old French *escren*, meaning to shield or protect). The word "rescreen" means to screen again or to provide a new layer of protection.

Memory Tip

Think of doing something 'again' ('re-') to 'shield' or 'protect' ('screen') — that's why rescreen means to provide a new layer of protection.
