Morphology

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

This is a standard and semantically clear case of prefixation: 're-' plus 'synthesize'.

Etymology

Resynthesize combines re- 'again' with synthesize 'put together', so it simply means 'to put together again'. In science and engineering this explains why to resynthesize something is to make it again, often using the same or a new way.
