Morphology

redispose = dispose (transparent) = re + dispose

The prefix 're-' straightforwardly adds the meaning 'again' to the verb 'dispose' in this sense.

Etymology

Redispose is made of re- meaning 'again' and dispose meaning 'to arrange' or 'put in order', a bit like the word position which also means placing something. So, to redispose something is to 'arrange it again' or move it into a new order.
