Morphology

rescore = score (transparent) = re + score

The meaning follows directly from 're-' plus the musical verb 'score', meaning to score again or provide a new score.

Etymology

Rescore is made from re- 'again' and score meaning a musical 'score' or 'soundtrack', like the music for a movie. So, to rescore a film or play is to create a new musical score to replace the original.
