Morphology

regram = gram (opaque) = re + gram

The prefix re- clearly suggests repetition, but the base gram is a clipped social-media form that most learners would not know from ordinary vocabulary.

Etymology

Regram comes from re- 'again' and gram from Instagram, and it means the same as the word 'repost' on that app. A regram is a post you share again on Instagram.
