Morphology

revisitation = revisit (transparent) = re + visit + ation

This is a regular noun formation from the verb 'revisit', meaning the act or instance of visiting again.

Etymology

Revisitation comes from the parts re- 'again' and visit 'to go see', so it literally means 'going to see again'. That's why a revisitation is a later visit for follow-up to a person, place, or inspector.
