Morphology

regroupment = regroup (transparent) = re + group + ment

This is a standard noun formation from the verb 'regroup' referring to the act or process of regrouping.

Etymology

Regroupment comes from re- meaning 'again' and group, so it pictures people or things 'forming a group again'. That's why a regroupment is the act of coming together or reorganizing after a problem or change.
