Morphology

reaffiliation = affiliation (transparent) = re + affili + ation

Adding 're-' to 'affiliation' straightforwardly gives the meaning 'affiliation again' or 'renewed affiliation'.

Etymology

Reaffiliation comes from the prefix re- meaning 'again' and affiliation, from affiliate, which means 'to join' or 'to be part of a group'. So, reaffiliation is the act of joining a group 'again' after being away.
