Morphology

rescreen = screen (transparent) = re + screen

The prefix 're-' has its usual meaning 'again', so the word means to carry out the screening process another time.

Etymology

Rescreen is made of re- 'again' and screen 'to check', as in a medical or security check. So to rescreen someone or something is to test or examine them again.
