Morphology
iterate = iter + ate
The verb is formed with the combining form 'iter-' plus the productive verb suffix '-ate', but 'iter-' is not a standalone English base familiar to learners, so the meaning 'repeat' (in computing/maths) is not transparently derived from known English components.
Etymology
The word iterate comes from the Latin iterare, which means 'to do again', and that is why in math and computer work it means to repeat a process or 'go through' a list one time at a time until the task is finished.
