Morphology

remeasurement = remeasure (semi-transparent) = re + measure + ment

The suffix '-ment' regularly forms a noun naming the act or result of the verb 'remeasure'.

Etymology

Remeasurement comes from re- ('again') and measure ('to find size or value'), so it literally means 'measure again'. In accounting, a remeasurement is that idea applied to money and things a company owns: you check and update their numbers to match current exchange rates or market prices, so a remeasurement changes the reported value.
