Morphology

refill = refill (transparent) = re + fill

The noun is a straightforward zero-derived form from the verb 'refill', meaning an instance or product for refilling.

Etymology

Refill as a product also comes from re- 'again' and fill 'to make full', and it is the separate item you buy to replace what was used, like an ink refill for a pen, so you can keep using the same pen body.
