Morphology
requalify = qualify (transparent) = re + qual + ify
The prefix 're-' straightforwardly adds the meaning 'again' to the familiar verb 'qualify'.
Etymology
Requalify combines re- meaning 'again' and qualify meaning 'to make able or officially fit'. Think of taking a test or course again to get your driving license back, so requalify means to become qualified again after your previous qualification ends.
