Morphology

reeducate = educate (semi-transparent) = re + educate

The structure means 'educate again', but using 'educate' for a computer system is a technical metaphor rather than the most basic everyday use.

Etymology

Reeducate combines re- 'again' and educate 'to teach', as in education. For computer systems or models it means to teach the system again with new data so it can work better.
