Root Explanation

Resegregate → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "segregare" (from Latin, meaning to separate). The word "resegregate" means to separate again, often referring to the process of reinstating segregation after it has been removed.

Memory Tip

Think of 'again' ('re-') and 'to separate' ('segregare') — this helps you remember that resegregate means to separate again.
