Morphology

reinvention = reinvent (semi-transparent) = re + invent + ion

The noun is a regular action/result formation from the verb 'reinvent' with the suffix '-ion'.

Etymology

Reinvention comes from re- meaning 'again' and invent meaning 'to create' or 'think up something new', the same root as invention and inventor. So a reinvention is making something again in a new way, changing it so it seems new.
