Morphology

repopulation = repopulate (semi-transparent) = re + populate + ion

This is a regular noun formation from the verb 'repopulate', meaning the act or process of doing it again.

Etymology

Repopulation comes from re- 'again' and populate (the same root as population), which means 'to fill with people'. So, in technology or lists, repopulation means filling a database or list again with entries after they were lost.
