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

Etymology

Reappreciation comes from the small word re- meaning 'again' and appreciate, which means 'to value' or 'feel grateful'. So reappreciation often means valuing or feeling grateful for someone or something all over again.
