Root Explanation
Revere is derived from the Latin "revereri" (meaning to stand in awe of or to respect). The prefix "re-" (meaning again) combined with "vereri" (meaning to fear or respect) conveys the idea of holding something in deep respect or awe.
Memory Tip
Think of standing in 'awe' ('revereri') of something, which helps you remember that to revere means to deeply respect or honor.
