Morphology

republishing = republish (transparent) = re + publish + ing

The noun is a regular action nominalization of the verb 'republish', so its meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

Republishing is made of re- meaning 'again' and publish, which comes from public meaning 'people' or 'for everyone'. So republishing is 'making something public again', which is why it means putting a book or article out once more.
