Morphology
reacquisition = acquisition (semi-transparent) = re + acquis + ition
The prefix clearly signals repetition, but the full psychology sense is a specialized technical use of 'acquisition'.
Etymology
The word reacquisition has re- 'again' and acquisition from acquire 'to learn or get'. In psychology it means 'learning again' a response or behaviour you had lost, which is why the relearning is often faster the second time.
