Morphology

resurvey = survey (transparent) = re + survey

The verb is a standard and fully compositional case of 're-' meaning 'again' added to 'survey'.

Etymology

The verb resurvey comes from re- 'again' and survey 'to look over', as in 'view'. So to resurvey is to measure or check land or an area again to make sure the results are correct.
