Morphology

reschedule = schedule (transparent) = re + schedule

The meaning is a regular and easily inferable extension of 'schedule' with re- meaning to schedule again or anew.

Etymology

The word reschedule comes from re- 'again' and schedule 'timetable', so to reschedule is to make the timetable again and change the time of a planned event.
