Morphology
reconstitute = constitute (transparent) = re + constitute
This sense is a straightforward case of 're-' plus 'constitute', meaning to form or establish again.
Etymology
Reconstitute combines the prefix re- ('again') with constitute ('set up'), a root you can see in constitution and institute. So, to reconstitute something is to 'set it up again' or rebuild it after it has been changed or broken.
