Morphology
reunification = unification (semi-transparent) = re + uni + fic + ation
The meaning is directly predictable as 'unification again' or 'restoration of unity' from the base noun 'unification' plus the prefix 're-'.
Etymology
Reunification combines re- 'again' and unit 'one', so it means 'making one again'. That's why reunification is used when parts, groups, or countries are brought back together.
