Morphology

redeliver = deliver (transparent) = re + deliver

The meaning is a straightforward application of 're-' to 'deliver', meaning to deliver again.

Etymology

The word redeliver is made of the prefix re- meaning 'again' and the verb deliver meaning 'to hand over'. So, to redeliver is to hand something over again, often after the first delivery did not work.
