Morphology

reinvite = invite (transparent) = re + invite

This is a standard and easily recognizable use of 're-' meaning 'again' added to the verb 'invite'.

Etymology

The word reinvite comes from the prefix re- meaning 'again' and the word invite, so it simply means to ask someone to come 'again' or to invite them a second time.
