Morphology
reclassification = reclassify (transparent) = re + class + ify + ation
The noun is a regular and fully predictable formation from the verb 'reclassify' meaning the act or process of doing it.
Etymology
The word reclassification comes from the parts re- meaning 'again' and class meaning 'group', as in the common word classify. So a reclassification is the act of putting something into a different 'group' or category again, which is why it changes where something belongs.
