Morphology

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

Formally re- + priming indicates 'priming again', but in technical biological or mechanical contexts the exact implications may be domain-specific and not obvious to all learners.

Etymology

Repriming comes from re- 'again' and prime, like in the phrase prime the pump which means to 'start' or get something ready. So repriming is doing that 'starting' or 'preparing' step again so a machine, reaction, or cell process can work properly.
