means The act of moving your home or workplace to a new location, especially when organized or sponsored by an employer.
from Built from Latin 're-' (again) plus 'locare' (to place), itself from 'locus' meaning place — the same root that gives us 'local' and 'location.' The word simply means 'placing again,' though modern usage dresses that plain Latin act in HR paperwork and moving-truck invoices.
