Morphology

reselect = select (transparent) = re + select

This is straightforward prefixation of 'select' with 're-' meaning 'again', so the meaning 'choose again' is directly recoverable.

Etymology

The word reselect is made from re- meaning 'again' and select meaning 'choose', so it simply means to 'choose again', for example when you pick a different answer on a form.
