Root Explanation

Resocialize → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "socialize" (from Latin "socialis", meaning of companionship or society). The word means to socialize again or to reintegrate into social settings.

Memory Tip

Think of 're-' meaning again, and 'socialize' relating to companionship — so resocialize means to engage with others again.
