Morphology

reconcentration = concentration (transparent) = re + concentrat + ion

Adding 're-' to 'concentration' straightforwardly gives the meaning 'concentration again'.

Etymology

Reconcentration comes from the parts re- ('again') and concentrate, which is linked to center ('middle'). So reconcentration means bringing people or things back together into one place or focus.
