Etymology: "Reshufflings" is simply the plural of "reshuffling," a noun for changes in arrangement. That noun comes from "reshuffle," which is "re-" (again, anew) attached to "shuffle," so the whole chain is a rearrangement of a rearrangement. The plural form adds the ordinary "-s" to mark several separate changes, as in a government that undergoes several rounds of personnel moves.
