Morphology

refile = refile (semi-transparent) = re + file

Once the verb 'refile' is known, the noun meaning 'an act of refiling' is understandable, but this count-noun conversion is less fully predictable than ordinary affixation.

Etymology

The word refile starts with re- meaning 'again' and ends with file meaning 'a folder or a set of papers'. A refile is therefore the act of putting papers back into the file or sending a document again, as when a form is sent again to a court.
