Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Restrike → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "strike" (from Old English "strican", meaning to touch or strike). The word "restrike" means to strike again or to hit once more.

Memory Tip

Think of doing something 'again' ('re-') after having 'struck' ('strike') it before — that's why restrike means to strike again.
