Etymology: "Resynthesizes" is the third-person singular form of "resynthesize," which means to synthesize again, that is, to combine parts into a whole once more after they have been broken apart or reorganized. The verb is built from the prefix "re-," meaning "again" or "back," attached to "synthesize," which comes from the Greek "synthesis," meaning "a putting together." The "syn-" element means "together," and the "-thesis" element comes from "tithenai," meaning "to place," so the core idea is placing things side by side. The form "resynthesizes" is an inflection, so it simply agrees with a singular subject such as "he," "she," or "it" in the present tense. Its meaning follows directly from the parts: the subject takes existing material and assembles it again into a new arrangement.
Synonyms: reforms, recreates, rebuilds, reassembles, restructures
