Morphology

rescreening = screening (transparent) = re + screen + ing

For learners who know 'screening' as a test or examination, 'rescreening' straightforwardly means screening again.

Etymology

Rescreening comes from re- 'again' and screen 'to check' (as in airport screening), so it means checking or testing something again to make sure nothing was missed.
