Morphology
rememoration = rememorate (opaque) = re + memor + ation
The noun is a learned nominalization of the rare verb rememorate, but the stem is not a familiar everyday English base, so the meaning is not readily predictable.
Etymology
The word rememoration is made from re- 'again' and memor 'mindful', the same root as memory. So a rememoration is a formal act of remembering something again.
