Morphology
rededication = rededicate (transparent) = re + dedicate + ion
This is a standard noun formation from the verb 'rededicate' meaning the act or process of doing it again.
Etymology
The word rededication starts with re- meaning 'again' and the rest is dedication, from a word meaning 'to set apart for a special use' and the same idea as the simple word dedicate. So, a rededication is the act of dedicating something again, often in a formal ceremony.
