Composed of 'wieder' (again) and 'holen' (to get, to fetch). The inseparable verb means to 'get again' in the sense of saying or doing it again.
Memory Tips
This is an inseparable verb (stress on '-ho-'). Don't confuse it with the separable verb 'wieder|holen' (to get back), which has the stress on 'wie-'.
