Morphology
reconstitution = reconstitute (semi-transparent) = re + constitute + ion
The suffix '-ion' straightforwardly forms a noun meaning the act or process of 'reconstitute'.
Etymology
Reconstitution comes from re- ('again') and constitute ('to put together'), the same root as constitution, and you can imagine it like adding water to powdered milk to make it whole again. So reconstitution means restoring something to its original form by putting back what it needs.
