Root Explanation

Revegetation is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "vegetare" (meaning to grow or to bring to life). The word refers to the process of growing vegetation again in an area that has been disturbed or depleted.

Memory Tip

Think of 'growing again' — 're-' means again, and 'vegetare' means to grow. This helps you remember that revegetation is about bringing plants back to life in a place.
