Morphology

redeployment = redeploy (semi-transparent) = re + deploy + ment

The noun is formed in a regular way from the verb 'redeploy' with '-ment', meaning the act or process of redeploying.

Etymology

Redeployment breaks into re- 'again' and deploy 'to send out or place', so it means moving people or resources out again to a new place or role.
