Morphology

reglaze = glaze (transparent) = re + glaze

The meaning is a straightforward repetition of the action expressed by 'glaze'.

Etymology

Reglaze comes from re- 'again' and glaze, a word tied to old words for 'glass' or a 'shiny coat'. So to reglaze pottery is to put a new glassy layer on it to restore or improve its surface.
