Etymology: "Reschedulings" is simply the plural of "rescheduling", the noun formed from the verb "reschedule". The verb is built from the prefix "re-", meaning "again" or "anew", attached to "schedule", which came into English from Old French "cedule" and ultimately from Medieval Latin "schedula", a small strip of paper or parchment. The idea of a schedule as a written list, and of changing that list when plans shift, is therefore present in the word's core. The plural form simply adds the ordinary "-s" to mark more than one act of revising a timetable, such as a week of postponed meetings or several moved exam dates.

Synonyms: rearrangements, rebookings
