Morphology

restitutive = restitute (transparent) = restitute + ive

The adjective is directly formed from the verb 'restitute' with the productive adjectival suffix '-ive', yielding the meaning 'tending to restore'.

Etymology

Restitutive comes from the Latin word restituere, with re- meaning 'again' and a part you can see in substitute that means 'to set' or 'place'. So a restitutive diet or treatment is one that helps the body 'set right again' and return to health.
