Morphology

reinspection = inspection (transparent) = re + inspect + ion

Adding 're-' to 'inspection' straightforwardly gives the meaning of an inspection done again.

Etymology

Reinspection is made of re- meaning 'again' and inspect meaning 'to look closely', so it is like 'looking again' to make sure something still meets the standards.
