Root Explanation

Retime → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "time" (from Old English "tima", meaning a period or duration). The word "retime" means to set or adjust the time again.

Memory Tip

Think of doing something 'again' ('re-') with 'time' — that's why retime means to adjust the timing.
