Morphology

remap = map (transparent) = re + map

The prefix 're-' clearly signals making or drawing the map again from the base verb 'map'.

Etymology

Remap comes from re- ('again') plus map, so it means 'change the map'. When officials remap districts they redraw the map lines to reflect new people or needs.
