Morphology

redock = dock (transparent) = re + dock

This is standard prefixation of 're-' meaning 'again' to the verb 'dock', yielding the easily inferable meaning 'dock again'.

Etymology

Redock comes from the prefix re- meaning 'again' and dock meaning 'a place to connect', like where a ship or a phone sits to recharge. So to redock is to 'connect again' to a dock, station, or port.
