Morphology

relocated = relocate (semi-transparent) = re + locate + ed

This is a standard past-participial and adjectival formation from the verb 'relocate'.

Etymology

Relocated comes from the prefix re- meaning 'again' and the root locate (seen in location) meaning 'place'. So to be relocated is to be 'placed again', moved and settled in a new place.
