Root Explanation
Reshowing → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "show" (from Old English "sceawian", meaning to look at or to see) and the suffix "-ing" (indicating the action or process). The word "reshowing" means the act of showing something again.
Memory Tip
Think of 'showing' something 'again' — 're-' means again, and 'show' means to display or present.
