Morphology

reassess = assess (transparent) = re + assess

The prefix 're-' adds the standard meaning 'again' to 'assess', yielding the straightforward sense 'assess again'.

Etymology

Reassess joins re- ('again') and assess ('to judge' or 'check'). It literally means to 'judge again', so to reassess something is to check or think about it one more time and maybe change your decision.
