Conversation

Did you hear about the recent discussions on resegregation in schools?

Yeah, it's really alarming how some areas are going back to that.

Root Explanation

Resegregation is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "segregare" (from Latin, meaning to separate). The word describes the act of separating again, particularly in the context of social or racial divisions.

Memory Tip

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