Morphology
reallocation = reallocate (transparent) = re + allocate + ion
This is a standard noun formation from the verb 'reallocate' meaning the act or process of doing it.
Etymology
Reallocation starts with re- meaning 'again' and comes from allocate, which is about 'placing' or giving something a place, the same root as location. So, reallocation is literally placing things again, which is why it means moving or giving resources to new places when they are needed.
