Morphology

reseat = seat (transparent) = re + seat

This sense is a straightforward 'provide with seats again' use of re- plus the verb 'seat'.

Etymology

Reseat comes from re- 'again' plus seat. So to reseat a hall or stadium is to put in new chairs or give the place new seating — in short, to 'seat' the space again.
