Root Explanation

Redeployment → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "deployment" (from Old French *deployer*, meaning to unfold or spread out). The word "redeployment" means the act of deploying again or repositioning resources or personnel.

Memory Tip

Think of 'doing something again' ('re-') and 'spreading out' ('deployment') — that's why redeployment means to position resources or personnel again.
