Morphology
reacquisition = acquisition (transparent) = re + acquis + ition
Adding 're-' to 'acquisition' straightforwardly gives the meaning 'acquisition again' or 'getting back again'.
Etymology
The word reacquisition breaks into re- 'again' and acquisition from acquire 'to get'. So it means getting something again or getting back something you once had.
