Morphology

reestablishment = reestablish (transparent) = re + establish + ment

The noun is formed straightforwardly from the verb 'reestablish' with the standard action/result suffix '-ment'.

Etymology

Reestablishment comes from re- meaning 'again' and establish, meaning 'to set up' and related to the word stable. So, reestablishment is the act of 'setting up again', bringing something back into use or order.
