Morphology
recommission = commission (transparent) = re + commission
Given the verb 'commission' meaning 'put into service', adding 're-' clearly yields the meaning 'put back into service again'.
Etymology
Recommission is made of re- 'again' and commission 'to send into service', so it means to send something back into use, like putting a ship or power plant to work again.
