Morphology

reincorporate = incorporate (transparent) = re + incorporate

The prefix 're-' keeps its regular meaning 'again', whether the sense is legal registration again or integration again.

Etymology

Reincorporate comes from re- 'again' plus incorporate 'make into a body', as in corporation. So to reincorporate a business is to register it 'again' as a corporation, or more generally to bring something back into a whole.
