Etymology: "Resell" is a plain compound: the prefix "re-", meaning "again" or "back," attached to "sell." Nothing about it is a surprise, but the prefix has a long pedigree. It traces back through Latin "re-" to a Proto-Italic root, passed into Old French as "re-", and then entered Middle English as a prefix before being fused with the native verb "sell" in English. The result is a transparent word whose parts still mean exactly what they say: to sell again.
