Root Explanation
Rewoven → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "woven" (the past participle of "weave", which comes from Old English "wefan", meaning to interlace threads). The word "rewoven" means to weave something again or to reassemble it by interlacing threads once more.
Memory Tip
Think of 'weaving' something 'again' — 're-' means again, and 'woven' refers to the interlacing of threads.
