Morphology
reillumination = illumination (semi-transparent) = re + illumination
The morphology is regular, but the sense relies on the metaphorical use of 'illumination' for understanding, which is less directly inferable for some learners.
Etymology
Reillumination is made of re- ('again') and illuminate ('to light' or 'to make clear'). So reillumination can also mean 'lighting your mind again', a return of clear understanding after a period of confusion.
