Morphology
reexamination = examination (transparent) = re + examine + ation
The prefix 're-' straightforwardly adds the meaning 'again' to 'examination'.
Etymology
Reexamination comes from re- 'again' and examination 'a careful look'. So a reexamination is a second check or review to find mistakes or to see if something has changed.
