Morphology
recidivism = recidivist (opaque) = re + cidiv + ism
If a learner knows 'recidivist' (a person who reoffends), they can infer the general idea of the noun, but the internal Latin root is not productive in English and may be unfamiliar.
Etymology
Recidivism comes from Latin parts re- 'again' and cadere 'to fall'. So, it gives the image of 'falling back again' into crime, which is why recidivism means returning to criminal behavior.
