Morphology
recalibration = recalibrate (transparent) = re + calibrate + ion
This is a regular noun formation from the verb 'recalibrate' meaning the process or act of recalibrating.
Etymology
The word recalibration starts with re- 'again' and the rest comes from calibrate, which is related to caliber and means 'measure' or 'size'. So, a recalibration of a device is checking and adjusting its measurements again to make sure it is accurate.
