Morphology

reignition = reignite (semi-transparent) = re + ignite + ion

This is a regular noun formed from the verb 'reignite' with '-ion', meaning the act or process of doing it.

Etymology

Reignition joins re- ('again') and ignite ('to start a fire' or 'to light up'), so it gives the picture of something being 'lit again'. So a reignition of interest is when excitement or activity 'lights up' again after a quiet time.
