means The act of putting someone or something back into the position, status, or condition it had before — officially restored, as if the gap never existed.

from Built from 're-' (again) plus 'instate,' itself from 'state' in its old sense of 'standing, condition, or position' (the same root behind 'status' and 'estate'). So reinstatement literally means 'to put back into standing' — a straightforward Latin-rooted construction, with no folklore needed: the word does exactly what it says.
