Morphology

reconstitution = reconstitute (transparent) = re + constitute + ion

The suffix '-ion' straightforwardly forms a noun meaning the act or process of 'reconstitute'.

Etymology

Reconstitution comes from the prefix re- meaning 'again' and the root constitute meaning 'to set up' or 'put together', the same root behind constitution. So reconstitution is the act of 'setting something up again', which is why it means forming or organizing a group or system once more.
