Morphology

reshow = show (transparent) = re + show

The prefix 're-' straightforwardly adds the meaning 'again' to the verb 'show'.

Etymology

Reshow comes from the prefix re- meaning 'again' and the verb show, so it means 'show again'. Think of it like replay or rewatch when a channel or museum decides to show a film, program, or object once more.
