Root Explanation

Restabilize → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "stabilize" (from Latin "stabilire", meaning to make stable). The word "restabilize" means to make something stable again after it has become unstable.

Memory Tip

Think of making something stable 'again' ('re-') — that's why restabilize means to make it stable once more.
