Morphology

reascent = ascent (transparent) = re + ascent

The meaning is directly recoverable as 'ascent again' or 'renewed ascent'.

Etymology

Reascent is made of re- 'again' and ascent 'a rise', the same 'ascent' you see when you climb a hill, so think of something rising a second time. So a reascent is a new rise after a fall, like profits or popularity increasing again.
