Morphology

rerecord = record (transparent) = re + record

This is a straightforward use of re- meaning 'again' added to the verb 'record' in the sense of registering information.

Etymology

Rerecord comes from the prefix re- 'again' and the word record 'to write down'. So it means to write or enter information again into a file or official record.
