Morphology

reselection = selection (transparent) = re + select + ion

The prefix 're-' straightforwardly adds the meaning 'again' to the noun 'selection'.

Etymology

Reselection is made from re- meaning 'again' and select meaning 'to choose', the same root you see in selection and select. So reselection simply means 'choosing again', for example picking the same person for another term.
