Morphology

reregister = register (transparent) = re + register

This is standard productive prefixation: 'reregister' means 'register again'.

Etymology

Reregister comes from the prefix re- meaning 'again' and the word register, which means 'to put your name on a list'. So, to reregister is to 'register again', for example when a previous registration has ended.
