??
Is the "one word" the definition and the "two words" the letters?

The one word is the meaning for the one word. The next two are the meanings of two separate words that can be split from the original word.
Does that make sense?

Yeah, it is, and I think you got it.
One word: to look at again with pleasure = re-admire
Two words:
1. peruse = read
2. mud = mire
read + mire = re-admire
