Root Explanation

Revisal is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "visus" (meaning to see). The word refers to the act of seeing or reviewing something again, often in the context of revising a document or text.

Memory Tip

Think of 'seeing again' — 're-' means again, and 'visus' relates to seeing. This helps you remember that revisal is about reviewing something once more.
