Morphology

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

The prefix re- regularly means 'again', but the attested sense often involves the more specific idea of renegotiating or reversing a previous deal.

Etymology

Retrade is made of the prefix re- 'again' and the word trade 'to buy and sell'. In finance it means to 'trade again' or change a previous deal, so to retrade is to change or undo a trade after it was first made.
