Morphology

resample = sample (semi-transparent) = re + sample

The idea of doing the sampling again is clear, but the specific technical sense of changing a signal's sampling rate or format is more specialized than a simple literal repetition.

Etymology

Resample comes from re- 'again' and sample 'a small piece or test'. So, to resample a sound or picture is to make a new version of it, for example saving a photo at a different size or changing a song's speed, which is why resampling can change quality.
