Morphology

rewatch = watch (transparent) = re + watch

This is a standard and fully productive use of 're-' meaning 'again' added to the verb 'watch'.

Etymology

The word rewatch is made of re- at the start meaning 'again' and watch meaning 'to look' or 'see'. So, to rewatch a film or video is to 'look' at it 'again', which is why we use it when we watch something one more time.
