Morphology

remelt = remelt (semi-transparent) = re + melt

The noun is transparently related to the verb 'remelt', but the specific result meaning 'material that has been remelted' is somewhat specialized rather than fully predictable.

Etymology

Remelt is also used as a noun and comes from re- ('again') and melt ('to make liquid'), so it means material that has been melted a second time to be used again by factories and makers.
