Morphology
antiredeposition = redeposition (semi-transparent) = anti + re + posit + ion
The form is a regular technical construction meaning 'against redeposition', but the detergent-specific sense is somewhat specialized for an average B1 learner.
Etymology
Antiredeposition breaks into three clear parts: anti- 'against', re- 'again', and deposit 'to put down'. So it means stopping dirt or particles from being put down again, which is why antiredeposition helps keep surfaces and clothes clean.
