Morphology
repo = repurchase agreement (semi-transparent) = repurchase + agreement
Clipped from a technical financial phrase; the morphological origin (repurchase + agreement) is clear but the precise financial meaning requires domain knowledge.
Etymology
Repo is short for repurchase, with re- meaning 'again' and purchase meaning 'buy'. A repo is a deal where someone sells securities and agrees to 'buy them back' later, so it works like a short loan.
