Morphology
reinvestigate = investigate (transparent) = re + investigate
The prefix 're-' straightforwardly adds the meaning 'again' to the familiar verb 'investigate'.
Etymology
Reinvestigate combines re- meaning 'again' and investigate meaning 'to look into' or 'to search closely', so imagine a detective checking a case once more. So, to reinvestigate is to 'look into again', often to find new evidence or correct a mistake.
