Morphology

repost = post (transparent) = re + post

The prefix 're-' adds the standard meaning 'again' to the verb 'post'.

Etymology

The verb repost is built from re- 'again' and post 'to put a message online or on a board', so to repost is to 'put a message online again' for others to see, like sharing the same note a second time.
