Morphology

repriming = priming (semi-transparent) = re + prime + ing

Morphologically it's re- + priming (again), but 'priming' in this technical psychological/advertising sense may be unfamiliar to average learners, making full inference harder.

Etymology

Repriming is made of re- 'again' and prime, which in psychology means to 'prepare' or remind the mind of something. So repriming is 'preparing again'—giving a second reminder to restore the effect of the first prime.
