Morphology
reappreciation = appreciation (transparent) = re + appreciate + ion
The prefix 're-' transparently signals doing the act of appreciation again.
Etymology
Reappreciation combines re- 'again' and appreciate 'to value', so it can mean taking a new look and seeing the worth of something once more. That's why reappreciation also means the act of looking again and recognizing value or importance.
