Morphology

reemergence = emergence (transparent) = re + emerge + ence

This is a standard use of the prefix 're-' added to 'emergence', giving the clear meaning 'emergence again'.

Etymology

Reemergence is made from the prefix re- meaning 'again' and the verb emerge meaning 'to appear' or 'come out'. So reemergence is the act of something appearing or becoming active again after being away.
