Root Explanation
Reworked → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "work" (from Old English "wyrcan", meaning to perform or do) and the suffix "-ed" (indicating past tense). The word "reworked" means to perform or do something again, typically to improve or alter it.
Memory Tip
Think of doing something 'again' ('re-') and 'performing' it ('work') — that's why reworked means to do something again, often to make it better.
