Morphology

reignition = reignite (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'), so it literally means 'starting to burn again'. That's why we use reignition for lighting a campfire again or for an engine or rocket stage that starts working again after a stop.
