Root Explanation

Revision → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "videre" (meaning to see). The word "revision" means the act of seeing or reviewing something again.

Memory Tip

Think of looking at something 'again' ('re-') to 'see' it ('videre') — that's why revision means reviewing or re-examining.
