Morphology

remeasurement = remeasure (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'), so it simply means 'measure again'. A remeasurement is when you measure something again to check, confirm, or correct the first result.
