Morphology

resealable = reseal (transparent) = re + seal + able

The adjective is formed in a standard way from the verb 'reseal' and means 'able to be resealed'.

Etymology

Resealable is built from re- meaning 'again', the word seal meaning 'to close', and the ending -able meaning 'can be'. So a resealable bag or container can be 'closed again' to keep food or other things fresh.
