Morphology
reconditioning = recondition (transparent) = re + condition + ing
This is a regular process noun formed from the verb 'recondition' with '-ing'.
Etymology
Reconditioning comes from re- meaning 'again' and condition meaning 'fitness' or 'state of health'. So, after an injury it is the work of getting your body back into good shape — 'making your condition good again'.
