Morphology

rescreen = screen (transparent) = re + screen

The prefix 're-' clearly means 'again', yielding either 'show again' or 'fit with a screen again' from the relevant sense of 'screen'.

Etymology

Rescreen comes from re- 'again' and screen 'a surface for showing films' or 'a protective cover'. So to rescreen a film is to show it again, and to rescreen a window is to replace its screen.
