Morphology
reconfiguration = reconfigure (transparent) = re + configure + ation
This is a regular noun formation from the verb 'reconfigure', meaning the act or process of doing it.
Etymology
Reconfiguration begins with re- meaning 'again' and comes from configure, which is related to figure meaning 'shape' or 'form'. So, reconfiguration is the act of 'shaping or arranging again', which is why it means arranging something in a new or different way.
