Morphology

recompute = compute (transparent) = re + compute

The prefix 're-' keeps its standard meaning 'again', so 'recompute' is straightforwardly understood as 'compute again'.

Etymology

The word recompute is made of re- meaning 'again' and compute meaning 'to calculate', the same root as computer. So to recompute something is to calculate it again to update or correct the result.
