Etymology: "Resender" is a straightforward formation: the verb "resend," meaning to send again, with the agentive suffix "-er" added to name the thing that does the resending. The suffix, which English has used since Old English to build words for people and devices that perform an action, turns the verb into a noun for whoever or whatever retransmits a message or package. The same pattern gives us "sender," "reminder," and "forwarder," and "resender" simply extends it to a person or an automated system that sends something once more.

Synonyms: forwarder, transmitter, dispatcher, retransmitter
