Morphology
resynchronization = resynchronize (semi-transparent) = re + synchron + ize + ation
This is regular noun formation from the verb 'resynchronize', meaning the act or procedure of doing so.
Etymology
Resynchronization comes from re- 'again' and synchron (from syn- 'together' and chron- 'time'), the same root you see in synchronize or 'sync'. So, in medicine, resynchronization means making the heart's lower chambers beat at the same time again so the heart can pump better.
