Morphology

recapitalize = capitalize (transparent) = re + capital + ize

The prefix 're-' straightforwardly adds the meaning 'again' to 'capitalize' in this sense.

Etymology

The word recapitalize is made of re- 'again' and capitalize, from capital meaning 'head' and used for 'capital letters'. So to recapitalize text is to change or correct letters to uppercase again.
