Morphology

reinstitution = reinstitute (transparent) = re + institute + ion

This is a standard action noun formed from the verb 'reinstitute' with the suffix '-ion'.

Etymology

Reinstitution comes from re- 'again' and institution 'an established system or place', the same root you see in institute. So, it means bringing a rule, event, or practice back into use after it has stopped.
