Morphology
reassociation = association (transparent) = re + associate + ion
Adding 're-' to 'association' straightforwardly gives the meaning 'association again' or 'joining together again'.
Etymology
Reassociation comes from re- meaning 'again' and associate meaning 'to join' or 'be a companion', the same root as the common word associate. So, reassociation means 'joining together again' after things were separated.
