Morphology

recharter = recharter (semi-transparent) = re + charter

The noun is clearly based on the verb 'recharter', but zero-derived event nouns are somewhat less predictable for learners than regular suffixal nouns.

Etymology

Recharter comes from re- ('again') and charter ('a written paper that gives official rights'). A recharter is the act of giving that paper again, so it means renewing an organization's official status.
