Morphology
revise = re + vise
Although 're-' is a productive prefix, the root 'vise' is not a standalone modern English word with the relevant meaning, so learners cannot derive 'revise'='change' from its parts.
Etymology
Revise comes from the Latin parts re- 'again' and videre 'to see'. So to revise something is to 'see it again' and make changes to correct or improve it.
