Morphology

recompile = compile (transparent) = re + compile

The meaning is a straightforward repetition of the action 'compile', so learners who know 'compile' can readily infer 'compile again'.

Etymology

Recompile is formed from re- 'again' and compile 'to gather or put together', so it means to make a list or document again after you add or change items.
