Etymology: "Resolders" is the third-person singular present form of "resolder", a verb meaning to apply solder again to a joint so that the bond is restored or strengthened. The verb is formed from the prefix "re-", meaning "again", attached to "solder", so the whole word describes melting solder over a joint a second time. "Solder" is the older of the two parts, and it has a long history of its own. It came into English from Old French "soudure", a form of "souder", meaning to join or fasten, which descends from Latin "solidare", to make solid. The Latin sense of making something solid is a useful way to picture what soldering does: it binds two pieces of metal into one.
