Morphology

reseat = seat (transparent) = re + seat

The prefix re- clearly adds the meaning 'back' or 'again' to the verb 'seat'.

Etymology

Reseat comes from re- 'again' and seat. That is why to reseat a part or piece means to put it back into its correct seat or position so it fits and works properly.
