Morphology
reunify = unify (transparent) = re + uni + fy
Adding 're-' to 'unify' straightforwardly gives the meaning 'unify again'.
Etymology
Reunify comes from re- 'again' and uni- 'one', the same root you see in unit and union. So reunify means to bring people or things back together and make them 'one' again.
