Morphology

reaccumulate = accumulate (transparent) = re + accumulate

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

Etymology

Reaccumulate starts with re- meaning 'again' and the part accumulate means 'to gather or pile up', like snow or paperwork that forms a heap. So reaccumulate means to 'gather again' after something has been reduced, removed, or lost.
