Morphology
reorganize = organize (transparent) = re + organ + ize
The meaning is a standard and easily understandable extension of 'organize' with 're-' meaning 'again' or 'anew'.
Etymology
Reorganize is made of the part re- meaning 'again' and the word organize, which means 'to arrange' or put things in order, so it literally means to arrange something again. So, to reorganize is to change the arrangement of things or people, often to make them work better.
