Morphology
redesignation = redesignate (transparent) = re + designate + ion
This is a regular nominalization of the verb 'redesignate', meaning the act or result of redesignating.
Etymology
The word redesignation has re- meaning 'again' and designate meaning 'to give a name or label'. So a redesignation is an official 'renaming' or change of a thing's name, title, or status.
