Morphology

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

Morphologically regular: noun formed from the verb 'revisit' by adding '-ation'.

Etymology

Revisitation comes from the parts re- 'again' and visit 'to go see', so it often means 'returning to' an idea or work. That's why a revisitation of a film, essay, or theme shows the creator thinking about the same subject again in a new way.
