Morphology

redetermine = determine (transparent) = re + determine

This is a standard and semantically clear use of 're-' meaning 'again' attached to the verb 'determine'.

Etymology

Redetermine combines the prefix re- meaning 'again' and determine meaning 'to decide' or 'to find out', so to redetermine something is to 'decide or find it again', usually after a review or new information.
