Morphology

requote = quote (transparent) = re + quote

This is standard prefixation from 'quote', and the meaning 'quote again' or 'give a new quotation' is directly predictable.

Etymology

Requote comes from the little part re- meaning 'again' plus quote, which means to repeat someone's words or a price. So, to requote is simply to give a quotation again or to update it, like a 'replay' for words or rates.
