Morphology
rejigger = jigger (semi-transparent) = re + jigger
The link to 'jigger' is recognizable, but 're-' does not always mean simply 'again' here and the whole verb often means informal rearrangement or tweaking.
Etymology
The word rejigger looks like re- 'again' plus jig 'quick move', and it also sounds like rig 'arrange'. A helpful way to remember it is that to rejigger something is to move or arrange it again in a quick, informal way.
