Morphology

replot = plot (transparent) = re + plot

The prefix 're-' keeps its ordinary iterative meaning, so this sense means 'to plot land again' or 'to redraw the plots'.

Etymology

Replot comes from the prefix re- 'again' and plot 'piece of land'. So to replot land is to divide or map out the area again, making new plots or boundaries for building or legal use.
