Morphology

reimplement = implement (transparent) = re + implement

This is standard prefixation meaning 'implement again', which is directly recoverable from the base verb.

Etymology

Reimplement begins with re- meaning 'again' and the rest, implement, means 'to put into use' and is like the word 'implement' meaning a 'tool'. So, to reimplement something is to put it into use again, often in a new way or with new tools or technology.
