permutate
Shuffle the sequence
Permutate is a back-formation from permutation, meaning to rearrange elements into different possible orderings: The algorithm permutates the digits to find all combinations.
The older and more established verb is permute, which carries the same meaning.
Permutate appears mainly in technical contexts—computing, mathematics, genetics—where permutation is common vocabulary.
