Morphology

reallocate = allocate (transparent) = re + allocate

The meaning is a straightforward application of 're-' to 'allocate': to allocate again or anew.

Etymology

Reallocate starts with re- meaning 'again' and the part allocate means 'to give out' or 'assign'. So reallocate is to 'give out again' or to move resources to a new use.
