Morphology

remount = mount (transparent) = re + mount

The prefix 're-' straightforwardly adds the meaning 'again' to 'mount' in the sense of putting something back in place.

Etymology

Remount combines re- 'again' and mount 'to put in place'. A helpful way to remember it is to think of putting a cover or panel back where it belongs, so to remount is to put something back into position.
