Morphology
reimburse = imburse (semi-transparent) = re + imburse
The prefix re- clearly signals 'back' or 'again', but the base verb imburse is rare, so the full meaning is only partly predictable for many learners.
Etymology
The word reimburse comes from old parts re- meaning 'back' and bursa meaning 'purse'. It meant 'put money back into the purse', so to reimburse someone today is to pay them back for costs they have had.
