Morphology

resale = sale (transparent) = re + sale

The meaning is a straightforward application of re- to 'sale', giving 'sale again' or 'selling again'.

Etymology

Resale comes from the prefix re- meaning 'again' and sale meaning 'selling', so it means selling something again. That's why resale refers to the act of selling an item that was already bought.
