Morphology
rearticulate = articulate (transparent) = re + articulate
The prefix 're-' straightforwardly adds the meaning 'again' to the verb 'articulate'.
Etymology
The word rearticulate is made from re- 'again' and articulate 'to speak clearly', so it means to say something again in a clearer way.
