Morphology

reevaluate = evaluate (transparent) = re + value + ate

Adding 're-' to 'evaluate' straightforwardly gives the meaning 'evaluate again'.

Etymology

Reevaluate is built from re- 'again' and evaluate, which is related to the everyday word value meaning 'worth'. So to reevaluate something is to 'value again' — to think about or judge it again, often to change a previous decision.
