Morphology

reinvigoration = reinvigorate (semi-transparent) = re + in + vigor + ate + ion

The noun is a straightforward action/state formation from the verb 'reinvigorate' with the common suffix '-ion'.

Etymology

Reinvigoration starts with re- meaning 'again' and includes vigor meaning 'energy' or 'strength', the same root you see in invigorate. So reinvigoration is like 'giving energy again', like recharging a battery or becoming active and strong once more.
