Morphology

reappointment = appointment (transparent) = re + appoint + ment

Adding 're-' to 'appointment' straightforwardly gives the meaning of another appointment or the act of arranging one again.

Etymology

Reappointment starts with re-, which means 'again', and the rest comes from appoint, which means 'to set a time or meeting'. So a reappointment is simply arranging or booking a meeting 'again', like making another dentist visit.
