Morphology

reprogram = program (semi-transparent) = re + program

Morphologically clear (re- + program) but the meaning is metaphorical (changing attitudes/behaviour) and may not be obvious to all learners.

Etymology

Reprogram is built from re- 'again' and program 'a plan or set of instructions'. A helpful way to remember the human sense is to think of habits as a 'program' in the mind, so to reprogram someone is to change those instructions and their usual behavior.
