Etymology: "Resizing" is the present participle of "resize," formed from the prefix "re-" ("again," from Latin) and "size." The noun "size" itself comes from Anglo-French "sise," a shortening of "assise," meaning a sitting or an assessment, so the original sense was a fixed assessment, not a measurement.
