Morphology

reinspire = inspire (transparent) = re + inspire

The meaning is a regular and easily understandable extension of 'inspire' with the productive prefix 're-' meaning again or anew.

Etymology

Reinspire is made from re- meaning 'again' and inspire, which originally meant 'to breathe' or 'give life'. So to reinspire someone is to 'breathe new life' into their energy or ideas again.
