repatriation = repatriate (semi-transparent) = re + patri + ate + ion
This is a standard action noun formed from the verb 'repatriate' with the suffix '-ion'.
Etymology
The word repatriation starts with re- meaning 'back' and the root patria meaning 'country' or 'fatherland', the same root you see in patriot. So, repatriation is the act of sending people or things 'back' to their own country.
