Morphology

restage = stage (semi-transparent) = re + stage

Morphologically clear as 're-' (again) + 'stage', but the medical sense of 'stage' (staging a disease) is domain-specific and may be unfamiliar to some learners.

Etymology

Restage starts with re- 'again' and ends with stage 'step' or 'level', like the stage of a disease, so to restage is to check or set the disease's level again.
