Morphology

reassemble = assemble (transparent) = re + assemble

The prefix 're-' straightforwardly adds the meaning 'again' to 'assemble', yielding the expected sense 'assemble again'.

Etymology

The word reassemble is made of the small part re- meaning 'again' and the verb assemble meaning 'to put things together', the same root as assembly. So, to reassemble is to 'put something together again' after it has been taken apart.
