Morphology
reimposition = imposition (semi-transparent) = re + impos + ition
Adding 're-' to 'imposition' straightforwardly gives the meaning of imposing something again.
Etymology
Reimposition is made of re- meaning 'again' and imposition from impose, which comes from a root meaning 'to place', as in position. So reimposition means putting a law, rule, or restriction back in place.
