Morphology
reauthorize = authorize (semi-transparent) = re + author + ize
The meaning is directly and productively built from 'authorize' with re- meaning 'again'.
Etymology
Reauthorize comes from re- 'again' and authorize 'to give official permission', so you can think of someone in authority saying 'yes' a second time. So, to reauthorize is to give that official permission again.
