Morphology

republish = publish (transparent) = re + publish

This is a standard and highly productive use of 're-' meaning 'again' added to 'publish'.

Etymology

Republish starts with re- meaning 'again' and uses publish, which comes from public meaning 'open to everyone'. So to republish is to 'make public again', for example issuing a book or article in a new edition.
