Morphology

reionization = ionization (transparent) = re + ion + ize + ation

The prefix 're-' straightforwardly adds the meaning 'again' to 'ionization', yielding 'ionization again'.

Etymology

Reionization comes from re- 'again' and ionize 'to make charged particles', so it simply means 'making a gas or material charged again'. So in labs or industry, reionization is the process of charging a gas again to restart reactions or control a plasma.
