Morphology

re-explore = explore (transparent) = re + explore

The prefix 're-' straightforwardly adds the meaning 'again' to the verb 'explore'.

Etymology

Re-explore combines the prefix re- meaning 'again' with explore meaning 'to search' or 'look around'. So, it simply means to go back and search or look again, often to find new details.
