Morphology

rescore = score (transparent) = re + score

The meaning is a straightforward application of 're-' to 'score', meaning to score again or anew after review.

Etymology

Rescore is made from the prefix re- meaning 'again' and score meaning 'points' or a 'rating', so it literally means 'score again'. So, to rescore something is to give it a new score or rating after checking or correcting the first one.
