Morphology
retransformation = retransform (transparent) = re + trans + form + ation
This is a regular noun formation from the verb 'retransform' meaning the act or process of doing it.
Etymology
Retransformation starts with re- meaning 'again' and includes trans- and form meaning 'across' and 'shape', which together make transform meaning 'to change shape'. So retransformation is a 'changing again', like returning something to its original form or doing a change a second time.
