Morphology

restudy = study (transparent) = re + study

This is a standard and highly productive re- formation meaning to do the action again.

Etymology

Restudy comes from the prefix re- meaning 'again' plus the word study. So to restudy is simply to 'study again' to remember better or to understand something more clearly.
