Morphology
rehash = hash (semi-transparent) = re + hash
The prefix 're-' clearly adds the idea of doing something again, but the common nuance of repeating old material with little originality is not fully predictable from 'hash' alone.
Etymology
Rehash is formed from re- 'again' and hash 'to chop', so picture chopping the same food again. That's why to rehash an idea or report is to use old material again with little new thought.
