Morphology

remobilization = remobilize (semi-transparent) = re + mobile + ize + ation

This is a regular noun formed from the verb 'remobilize' with '-ation', meaning the act or process of doing it.

Etymology

Remobilization comes from re- 'again' and mobile 'able to move', the same root as in mobile. In plants it means moving stored nutrients from older parts to new growth. So remobilization helps a plant use its reserves to grow or survive.
