Morphology

reimplant = implant (semi-transparent) = re + implant

The meaning is a figurative extension from the physical sense ('insert') to restoring ideas or values, so it's partly inferable but metaphorical.

Etymology

Reimplant comes from re- ('again') and implant ('to plant' or 'put in'), so a helpful image is planting a seed again in someone's mind. That's why to reimplant an idea, feeling, or habit is to restore it or put it back into a person's or group's thinking.
