Morphology

rerun = run (semi-transparent) = re + run

The prefix re- contributes its usual 'again' meaning, but learners must know the extended sense of 'run' meaning 'perform or execute'.

Etymology

Rerun is made of re- 'again' and run, where 'run' can mean 'to carry out' or 'to perform' a test; to rerun an experiment is to 'run it again' to check the results.
