Morphology

reestimate = estimate (transparent) = re + estimate

The verb means to estimate again, which is a standard and fully compositional use of 're-'.

Etymology

To reestimate breaks into re- 'again' and estimate 'to guess the cost, size, or value'. That is why to reestimate something is to make a new or changed estimate after you learn more.
