Morphology

repin = pin (transparent) = re + pin

The prefix 're-' clearly adds the meaning 'again' to the verb 'pin'.

Etymology

Repin is made of re- 'again' and pin 'a small fastener like a safety pin or badge pin'. To repin something is to put the pin back in place to hold it, which is why the word means fastening again.
