Morphology

resample = sample (transparent) = re + sample

This is a regular and easily interpretable use of 're-' meaning 'again' with the verb 'sample'.

Etymology

Resample comes from re- 'again' and sample 'a small piece or test'. So, to resample data is to take new samples from it to check or test your results, like tasting a spoon of soup again to make sure the taste is right.
