Morphology
resensitization = sensitization (transparent) = re + sensit + ize + ation
Adding 're-' to 'sensitization' clearly yields the meaning 'restoration of light sensitivity again'.
Etymology
Resensitization combines re- 'again' and sensit- from sense meaning 'to feel', the same root you see in sensor, a device that 'feels' light. So in photography and imaging it means making film or a sensor able to 'feel' light again after its sensitivity goes down.
