Morphology

reexplore = explore (transparent) = re + explore

The prefix 're-' keeps its standard meaning 'again', so 'reexplore' is directly understandable as 'explore again'.

Etymology

The word reexplore starts with re- meaning 'again' and uses the familiar verb explore, like explorer, which means 'to search'. So to reexplore something is to 'search' it again to find new information.
