Morphology

resave = save (transparent) = re + save

Adding 're-' to 'save' gives the standard meaning 'save again', which matches the sense directly.

Etymology

Resave combines re- ('again') and save ('keep safe' or 'store'), like in redo or replay. To resave is to save a file again after you make changes so your new work is kept.
