Morphology

reglaze = glaze (transparent) = re + glaze

The word means to perform the glazing action again, here in the window-repair sense of 'glaze'.

Etymology

Reglaze comes from re- 'again' and glaze, which is linked to 'glass', so to reglaze a window or door is to replace or repair the glass and seals by fitting new panes to make it whole again.
