Morphology

reenter = enter (transparent) = re + enter

This is the regular meaning 'enter again', which is fully predictable in the data-input sense.

Etymology

Reenter combines the prefix re- ('again') and enter ('put in' or 'go in'), so to reenter information is to 'put it in again' into a form or computer.
