Morphology

renormalize = normalize (transparent) = re + norm + al + ize

The meaning 'normalize again' or 'make normal again' follows directly from adding the productive prefix 're-' to 'normalize'.

Etymology

Renormalize starts with re- meaning 'again' and the core normal meaning 'standard' or 'rule', so it literally means to make something 'normal again'. That's why scientists and mathematicians say renormalize when they adjust data or equations back to a standard form after a change.
