Morphology
revoicing = revoice (transparent) = re + voice + ing
The noun is formed in a standard way from the verb 'revoice' by adding '-ing' to denote the act or process.
Etymology
Revoicing comes from the parts re- 'again' and voice 'the sound you use to speak', and a helpful way to remember it is to think of saying someone's idea again in your own words so others understand. So revoicing means restating or paraphrasing someone's words to make them clear.
