Morphology

reblog = blog (semi-transparent) = re + blog

The meaning builds on 'blog' with 're-' suggesting posting again, but actual use specifically means reposting someone else's content on one's own feed.

Etymology

Reblog is formed from re- ('again') and blog (short for weblog, a 'web diary' or online 'record'), much like redo uses re- to mean 'again'. To reblog is to share someone else's blog post on your own page, that is, to post their content 'again', which explains the verb's modern meaning.
