Morphology

restrike = strike (transparent) = re + strike

The prefix 're-' straightforwardly adds the meaning 'again' to the verb 'strike'.

Etymology

Restrike comes from re- 'again' plus strike 'to hit', and this makes the meaning simple and direct: to hit or apply force to something one more time. So to restrike a match, bell, or metal is to strike it again to get a better result.
