Morphology

redraw = redraw (semi-transparent) = re + draw

As a verb, 'redraw' is a straightforward combination of 're-' and 'draw', with the expected meaning of doing the action again.

Etymology

The noun redraw comes from the verb parts re- 'again' and draw 'to take out', so a redraw is an option or facility that lets you 'take out again' extra repayments on a loan. That's why a redraw gives borrowers access to money they have already paid in.
