Morphology
reintegration = reintegrate (semi-transparent) = re + integrate + ion
This is a regular noun derived from the verb 'reintegrate' with the usual process meaning.
Etymology
The word reintegration comes from re- 'again' and integrate 'make whole', the same root you see in integrity. So in medicine reintegration means a repaired or reattached part becomes 'joined and working with' the body again.
