Answer

REBUT

This word means to claim or prove that evidence or an accusation is false, or to deny the truth of something. It comes from the Old French word reboter, meaning to repulse or drive back. The term is commonly used in legal and academic contexts when someone needs to counter an argument with opposing evidence.

Strategy Tip

Words with the common RE prefix can be tricky because many English words start this way. If you discover RE early, try thinking through different categories like actions, objects, or states to narrow down possibilities.
