Morphology
resegregation = resegregate (transparent) = re + segregate + ion
The noun is a standard and easily interpretable action noun formed from the verb 'resegregate' with '-ion'.
Etymology
Resegregation combines re- and segregation, where re- means 'again' and segregation means 'separating groups'. So, resegregation is the act of putting people back into separate groups, often by race, after they had been mixed.
