Morphology

relaunch = launch (transparent) = re + launch

The noun is transparently formed by adding 're-' meaning 'again' to 'launch', yielding the sense of a new launch or renewed introduction.

Etymology

Relaunch comes from the prefix re- meaning 'again' and the common word launch, which means 'to start' or 'to send off' like a rocket or a new product. So a relaunch is the event of starting something again, often after changes or improvements.
