Morphology

relaunch = launch (transparent) = re + launch

This is a straightforward case of 're-' meaning 'again' added to the verb 'launch'.

Etymology

Relaunch is made from re- meaning 'again' and launch meaning 'to start' or 'to send off', so to relaunch something is to start or introduce it again after it has stopped or after you have changed it.
