Morphology

repledge = pledge (transparent) = re + pledge

The meaning is a straightforward repetition of the action 'pledge', especially in financial use.

Etymology

Repledge combines the prefix re- meaning 'again' with pledge, which is a 'promise' or 'something given as security'. So to repledge is to give the same property or assets as security 'again', as when a bank uses client assets to borrow money.
