Morphology

repaper = paper (semi-transparent) = re + paper

Formally re- + paper is compositionally clear, but the administrative/document sense of 'paper' is less frequent and more specialized, so learners may not infer it from 'paper' (noun) alone.

Etymology

Repaper comes from the parts re- meaning 'again' and paper, the papers or documents you use for business. So to repaper files or contracts is to make new papers or redo the paperwork to follow new rules.
