Morphology

revoice = voice (transparent) = re + voice

Given the phonetic verb 'voice', the prefix 're-' directly yields 'voice again' or 'make voiced again'.

Etymology

Revoice comes from re- ('again') and voice ('sound' from your throat). In speech, to revoice a sound is to use your voice on it, for example making it like 'b' instead of 'p', so you change it from not using the voice to using it.
