relabelling
Assigning new names
Relabelling is the act of changing or replacing a label on something, whether physical or conceptual.
You might relabel jars in a pantry after reorganizing, or a company might relabel products to comply with new regulations.
In more abstract uses, relabelling involves reclassifying or renaming categories: The study involved relabelling certain behaviors as symptoms rather than choices.
The spelling with double L is standard in British English; American English typically uses relabeling.
