Morphology

resprout = resprout (semi-transparent) = re + sprout

The noun is clearly related to the verb 'resprout', but the specific concrete meaning 'new shoot or regrowth' is slightly more specific than a general action noun.

Etymology

Resprout names the 'young shoot' that appears when a plant grows again. The word comes from re- 'again' plus sprout, so a resprout is literally a new growth that starts after cutting or injury.
