Morphology

reprint = print (transparent) = re + print

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

Etymology

Reprint is made of re- 'again' and print 'to make copies', so to reprint something is to print it again — for example when a publisher makes more copies of a book that sold out.
