Morphology
reconfirmation = confirmation (transparent) = re + confirm + ation
Adding 're-' to 'confirmation' straightforwardly gives the meaning of a confirmation done again.
Etymology
Reconfirmation comes from re- meaning 'again' and confirm meaning 'make sure' or 'make firm'. So a reconfirmation is simply checking or saying something is correct 'again', for example when you verify a booking or plan one more time.
