Morphology

reshipment = reship (transparent) = re + ship + ment

The noun is a regular action/process formation from the verb 'reship'.

Etymology

Reshipment begins with re- meaning 'again' and includes ship meaning 'to send by a ship or vehicle', so it literally means 'sending goods again'. That's why reshipment is used for the act of moving cargo again, for example when goods are transferred to another ship or carrier to reach their final destination.
