Morphology

reecho = echo (transparent) = re + echo

This is standard prefixation from 'echo', and the meaning 'echo again' is directly predictable.

Etymology

Reecho joins the prefix re- meaning 'again' and echo meaning 'a repeated sound'. So, to reecho is for a sound to be heard again or to come back like an echo.
