reshuffle
再シャッフル
解説 Definition
再シャッフル、組み替え、配置換えという意味です。カードや順番をもう一度混ぜる場合だけでなく、組織の役職や計画の構成を入れ替える場合にも使われます。日本語の「シャッフル」より、特に「再び」「改めて」入れ替える感じが強い語です。
An act of rearranging the positions, order, roles, or composition of people or things, often to improve an organization or respond to changed circumstances. It may involve a team, government, schedule, plan, or sequence rather than merely mixing cards.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
re-「再び・改めて」＋shuffle「混ぜる」という実際の構成から、「もう一度混ぜて並べ替えること」と覚えます。a reshuffle of the team/schedule/chapters の形が典型で、単なる shuffle より再編・配置換えを強調。カードだけでなく、人事、内閣、日程、章立ての組み替えにも使う名詞です。
Build the meaning from re-, “again,” and shuffle, “mix or rearrange.” A reshuffle is therefore a fresh rearrangement after an existing order has already been established. Imagine cards being mixed again, then transfer that image to people, duties, dates, or chapters changing places. Common patterns include “a cabinet reshuffle,” “a reshuffle of the team,” and “a schedule reshuffle.” Compared with shuffle alone, reshuffle emphasizes revising a previous arrangement. It often suggests organizational adjustment rather than a completely new system or the random movement associated with cards.

reshuffle の語源・成り立ち Etymology
接頭辞「re-（再び）」と中世低地ドイツ語由来の「shuffle（混ぜる）」を組み合わせた言葉です。カードを「もう一度混ぜ直す」イメージから、内閣改造や人事の配置替えを指す意味へ自然に転じました。同根語に「shuffle（シャッフル）」があります。
Reshuffle is formed within English from the prefix re-, meaning “again” or “anew,” and shuffle. Shuffle entered English in the medieval period and is associated with earlier Germanic forms referring to irregular movement or moving things about. The compound first conveys mixing or arranging again. From the literal rearrangement of cards, reshuffle naturally developed broader uses for changes in personnel, offices, plans, schedules, and other established arrangements.
