Morphology

reconcentrate = concentrate (transparent) = re + concentrate

The prefix 're-' straightforwardly adds the meaning 'again' to the verb 'concentrate'.

Etymology

Reconcentrate combines re- 'again' and concentrate 'make stronger or bring together', like when juice is turned into a concentrate. So to reconcentrate a liquid is to make it stronger again by removing water.
