Morphology

recut = recut (transparent) = re + cut

The adjective is a standard zero-derived adjectival use of the verb meaning 'cut again' or 'edited again'.

Etymology

Recut as an adjective comes from re- 'again' and cut 'to cut', so it describes something that has been edited or altered after the first version. That's why we talk about a recut movie or album when it has new edits or extra scenes.
