Morphology

reorder = order (transparent) = re + order

This is a regular use of re- meaning 'again' attached to the verb 'order'.

Etymology

Reorder comes from the prefix re- 'again' plus order 'to ask for goods'. So to reorder is to ask for the same item 'again', for example when your stock runs out.
