Morphology

rediscover = discover (transparent) = re + discover

The meaning is a standard and easily interpretable repetition of the verb 'discover': to discover again.

Etymology

The word rediscover combines the prefix re- meaning 'again' with discover, which comes from the idea of taking a 'cover' off to 'find' something. So to rediscover is to 'find again' something you had lost or forgotten.
