Morphology
recommitment = commitment (transparent) = re + commit + ment
The meaning is a straightforward repetition or renewal of an existing commitment.
Etymology
Recommitment comes from the prefix re- meaning 'again' and commit meaning 'to promise or give your support'. So a recommitment is a promise made again, for example when a company or group decides to support a goal once more.
