Morphology
redistribution = redistribute (transparent) = re + distribute + ion
This is a standard noun formation from the verb 'redistribute' meaning the act or process of doing it.
Etymology
Redistribution breaks into re- meaning 'again' and distribute meaning 'to give out'. So, redistribution is the act of giving things out again—often money, land, or resources—to try to make things more equal.
