Morphology
reappraisal = reappraise (transparent) = re + appraise + al
This is a standard noun formation from the verb 'reappraise' meaning the act or process of doing it.
Etymology
Reappraisal breaks into re- 'again' and appraisal from appraise 'to judge' or 'give a value', like when you put a 'price' on something. So a reappraisal is simply judging or valuing something again, often after new information or time has passed.
