Morphology
revegetation = revegetate (transparent) = re + vegetate + ion
Adding '-ion' to the verb 'revegetate' straightforwardly forms a noun meaning the process or result of revegetating.
Etymology
The word revegetation comes from the prefix re- meaning 'again' and vegetation, a word related to vegetable and from an old word for 'growth' or 'being lively'. So revegetation is the return or new growth of plants in a place, either by nature or with human help.
