Morphology

reinvoke = invoke (transparent) = re + invoke

In computing, 'reinvoke' is a straightforward repetition of 'invoke', meaning to call or run something again.

Etymology

Reinvoke comes from the prefix re- meaning 'again' and invoke, from the old Latin vocare meaning 'to call', the same root as voice and vocal. So, to reinvoke a function is to 'call' it 'again', which fits the computing idea of running a routine one more time.
