覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
まず authorize = 「公式に許可する」を土台に置き、re- が付いたら「もう一度・更新して」の感覚を重ねると覚えやすいです。受け身の reauthorized は「再認可された」。人よりも law, program, agency, funding など制度や計画に付きやすく、Congress reauthorized the program の形でよく見ます。authorized だと単なる許可済み、reauthorized だと期限切れ後や見直し後の延長・更新まで含む、と差で押さえると残ります。
See `authorize` first, then add `re-` for the idea of doing it again. `Reauthorized` often appears with laws, programs, agencies, or funding after a review or an expired period. The contrast is useful: `authorized` means approved, while `reauthorized` means approved again or renewed.

reauthorized の語源・成り立ち Etymology
reauthorized は re-「再び」+ authorize で、authorize は author に -ize が付いた語、さらにラテン語 auctor「保証人・権威の源」にさかのぼります。authority や author と同根で、「権威のお墨付きをもう一度与える」が再認可です。
Reauthorized combines re-, meaning "again," with authorized. Authorize comes from author and ultimately from Latin auctor, meaning a founder, supporter, or source of authority. The word keeps that idea of giving official backing, so reauthorized means given that approval again; authority and author are from the same root.
