Morphology

readmittance = readmit (transparent) = re + admit + ance

The noun is a regular and readily interpretable formation from the verb 'readmit', meaning the act or result of being readmitted.

Etymology

Readmittance joins re- meaning 'again' and admittance meaning 'allowing entry', the same root as the common verb admit. So readmittance means being allowed to enter or join again.
