Morphology
reincarnation = incarnation (semi-transparent) = re + in + carn + ation
For learners who know 'incarnation', adding 're-' clearly gives the meaning of embodiment or birth again.
Etymology
Reincarnation comes from re- meaning 'again' and incarnation meaning 'to become flesh'. It gives the picture of a soul becoming flesh again, which is why reincarnation means a spirit being born into a new body after death.
