Root Explanation

Rescreening → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "screen" (from Old French *escren*, meaning to sift or separate). The word "rescreening" means to sift or separate again, typically referring to the process of filtering or reviewing something anew.

Memory Tip

Think of doing the process of 'sifting' or 'separating' ('screen') 'again' ('re-') — that's why rescreening means to sift or review something again.
