Morphology

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

The form suggests 'screening again', but many learners will first associate 'screening' with films or tests rather than replacing mesh on a window or porch.

Etymology

Rescreening comes from re- 'again' and screen 'a mesh on a window or door' (think 'screen door'), so it means fitting or replacing the mesh screen again.
