Morphology

regrip = grip (semi-transparent) = re + grip

The meaning 'put a new grip on' is inferable from 'grip', but it relies on a specialized equipment sense and a denominal verbal interpretation rather than the common verb 'grip' meaning 'hold'.

Etymology

Regrip combines re- 'again' and grip 'hold'. As a verb it means to put a new grip on something so you can hold it more safely and use it better.
