The following may need to be understood abstractly.
reclaim
① Request return (or restoration); ② Rescue; reform; ③ Reclamation.
re-, backward, back, claim=call, proposition, request. Extend the meaning of related words. Many words in English have dual meanings on the material level and the spiritual level. Call back can be understood as calling back from a bad state, so "reclaim" and "reform" are not unrelated meanings. Okay, here are a few claim-related words that appear in the GRE vocabulary book and are easily confused. Some teenagers may complain that it is difficult to remember the root words. The editor once again declares that the root affix is just a tool to assist everyone in remembering. Many people try to use the root affix without any accumulation. For example, the word dislike (contains the very common affix dis-), if you don’t know it yet... I will withdraw it.
