Morphology

reapplication = reapply (transparent) = re + apply + ation

This is a regular noun formation from 'reapply', meaning the act or process of applying again.

Etymology

Reapplication comes from the prefix re- meaning 'again' and the verb apply meaning 'to ask' or 'to put yourself forward' for something. So, a reapplication is simply when you 'apply again' for a job, visa, or place at school.
