Morphology

reinterview = interview (transparent) = re + interview

The meaning is a straightforward application of the prefix 're-' to 'interview', yielding 'an interview again' or 'another interview'.

Etymology

Reinterview is made of the prefix re- meaning 'again' and interview, a meeting where someone is asked questions, so a reinterview is an 'interview again' — a second meeting to check or add information.
