Morphology

regrip = grip (transparent) = re + grip

The prefix 're-' straightforwardly adds the meaning 'again' to the verb 'grip'.

Etymology

Regrip also comes from re- 'again' and grip 'hold', and it can mean to take hold again or to adjust your hand. That's why to regrip something is to change your hold for better control or safety.
