Morphology

redetermination = redetermine (transparent) = re + determine + ation

The noun is a standard and easily interpretable formation from the verb 'redetermine' meaning the act or process of doing it.

Etymology

Redetermination comes from the parts re- meaning 'again' and determine meaning 'to decide', so it is a decision made 'again' after review or when new information appears.
