Morphology

retrain = train (transparent) = re + train

In technical usage, 're-' straightforwardly adds the meaning 'again' or 'anew' to 'train'.

Etymology

Retrain comes from the parts re- meaning 'again' and train meaning 'to teach'. In computing, think of a computer model like a student, so to retrain it is to 'teach it again' with new examples to improve how it works.
