Morphology

reevaluation = reevaluate (transparent) = re + evaluat + ion

This is a standard noun formation from the verb 'reevaluate' meaning the act or process of doing it.

Etymology

The word reevaluation starts with re- meaning 'again' and comes from evaluate, which is about 'finding the value' and is the same root as the simple word value. So a reevaluation is checking or judging something 'again' to see if you should change your view.
