Morphology

reinstruction = instruction (semi-transparent) = re + instruct + ion

The structure 're-' plus 'instruction' is clear, but the specialized computing sense is not equally obvious to all learners.

Etymology

The word reinstruction combines the prefix re- ('again') with instruction ('directions' or 'orders'), so for machines it means loading or changing a device's directions again, like updating a program so the machine works correctly.
