Morphology
redeposition = deposition (transparent) = re + deposit + ion
The prefix 're-' attaches straightforwardly to 'deposition' to mean the process of depositing again.
Etymology
Redeposition comes from re- meaning 'again' and deposit meaning 'to put down', like when you deposit money. It describes material such as soil or sand being 'put down again' in a new place by water, wind, or other forces.
