Morphology

resynthesize = synthesize (transparent) = re + synthesis + ize

Adding 're-' to 'synthesize' straightforwardly gives the meaning 'synthesize again'.

Etymology

Resynthesize is made from re- meaning 'again' and synthesize, which comes from syn- 'together' and thesis 'put', so it literally means 'put together again'. So, when the body resynthesizes a substance, it is 'making it again' inside cells to replace what was used.
