Morphology

reintegration = reintegrate (transparent) = re + integrate + ion

This is a standard noun formation from the verb 'reintegrate' meaning the process or result of doing so.

Etymology

The word reintegration comes from re- 'again' and integrate 'make whole', the same idea you see in integrity. So reintegration is about bringing someone back into a group and making them 'part of the whole' again.
