Root Explanation

Resecure → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "secure" (from Latin "securus", meaning free from care or safe). The word "resecure" means to make something safe again or to restore security.

Memory Tip

Think of making something safe 'again' ('re-') — that's why 'resecure' means to restore safety.
