Morphology

relook = look (semi-transparent) = re + look

The connection to 'look' meaning appearance is clear, but 'relook' meaning a refreshed or modernized appearance is not a fully regular derivation for many learners.

Etymology

Relook comes from the parts re- meaning 'again' and look meaning 'appearance' or 'how something looks', so a relook is like giving something a 'new look' or small makeover. That's why it means a new or updated appearance to make something more modern or attractive.
