Morphology

republication = publication (transparent) = re + publish + ation

Adding 're-' to 'publication' straightforwardly gives the meaning 'publication again' or 'publishing again'.

Etymology

The word republication begins with re-, which means 'again', and ends with publication, from the same idea as the common word publish, which is 'to make public' or share with many people. So a republication is simply the act or result of 'publishing again', like a new edition of a book.
