Morphology

reverify = verify (transparent) = re + verify

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

Etymology

Reverify comes from the prefix re- meaning 'again' and the word verify meaning 'to make sure'. So it means to 'check again', like doing a double-check to be sure something is correct.
