Morphology

reconcentrate = role + play (semi-transparent) = re + concentrate + play

The parts clearly suggest acting out a role, but the specific figurative sense can extend beyond literal theatrical performance.

Etymology

Reconcentrate is made of re- meaning 'again' and concentrate meaning 'bring to the center' or 'focus', like the word center. So to reconcentrate is to bring your attention back to the center and focus again.
