Morphology

recomposition = composition (semi-transparent) = re + composition

Formally 're-' + 'composition' is clear, but the computing/UI sense (recalculating or re-rendering layout) is technical and not transparent to general learners.

Etymology

Recomposition comes from re- 'again' and compose 'to put together', meaning to build something again. In computing or design it means the screen or layout is put together again after a change, which is why a UI recomposition updates the on-screen arrangement.
