To restructure is to change the way a government, business, team, or system is organised — who reports to whom, which parts exist, how money and work flow. It is not a small tidy-up; it is a new shape. Companies restructure to cut costs, to grow, or after trouble with debt; schools and governments restructure too. The word is at home in news and office English. You will also hear restructuring (the process) and a restructure (the change itself). It does not mean restore: you are not putting the old shape back; you are building a different one, even if some old pieces stay.
重組、改組(公司、政府、制度的架構)
組成re- (“again, newly”) + structure (“the way the parts are arranged”). You give it a new structure.
