Morphology

reemit = emit (transparent) = re + emit

This is standard prefixation of 're-' onto 'emit', giving the clear meaning 'emit again'.

Etymology

Reemit comes from the prefix re- 'again' and the word emit 'send out', the same re- you see in repeat. Like a radio repeater that takes a signal and sends it out to reach more people, to reemit is to transmit or broadcast something again.
