Morphology

reinsertion = insertion (transparent) = re + insert + ion

Adding 're-' to 'insertion' straightforwardly gives the meaning 'insertion again' or 'putting back'.

Etymology

The word reinsertion comes from re- meaning 'again' and insert meaning 'to put in'. So, reinsertion literally means putting something back into its place, as when a surgeon puts a tendon, joint, or implant back where it belongs.
