Morphology

repaste = paste (transparent) = re + paste

The word clearly means performing the ordinary action of 'paste' one more time.

Etymology

Repaste comes from the prefix re- meaning 'again' and the word paste meaning 'to stick with glue'. So, repaste means to glue or stick something again after it has come off.
