Morphology

reintroduce = introduce (transparent) = re + introduce

The meaning is a straightforward application of the productive prefix 're-' to 'introduce', yielding 'introduce again'.

Etymology

The word reintroduce joins the prefix re- ('again') with introduce ('to bring into' or 'lead in'), so it means to 'bring in again'. That's why to reintroduce something is to put it back or show it again after it was away.
