Morphology
reappointment = appointment (transparent) = re + appoint + ment
Adding 're-' to the noun 'appointment' clearly yields the act of appointing someone again.
Etymology
Reappointment uses re- 'again' plus appoint 'to choose for a job', the same idea as when someone is given a position. So a reappointment means being chosen or given the same job 'again'.
