Morphology
reassimilation = assimilation (transparent) = re + assimil + ation
The prefix 're-' clearly adds the meaning 'again' to 'assimilation', yielding 'assimilation again'.
Etymology
Reassimilation breaks into re- meaning 'again' and assimilate meaning 'make similar', so it can mean becoming part of a group again or being taken back in, as when a person returns to their home culture or nutrients are reabsorbed into tissue.
