Morphology

retrade = retrade (semi-transparent) = re + trade

The noun is a straightforward conversion from the verb, meaning an instance or act of retrading.

Etymology

Retrade is made of the prefix re- 'again' and the word trade 'to buy and sell'. Think of someone coming back to the table to 'trade again' and change the deal, so a retrade is a late change to agreed terms and often feels unfair.
