Root Explanation

Restamp → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "stamp" (from Old English "stampian", meaning to impress or mark). The word "restamp" means to stamp or mark something again.

Memory Tip

Think of doing something 'again' ('re-') to 'impress' or 'mark' ('stamp') — that's why restamp means to stamp again.
