Morphology

resend = send (transparent) = re + send

This is standard productive prefixation meaning 'send again', which is directly inferable from the base verb.

Etymology

Resend is made of re- meaning 'again' and send meaning 'to give or deliver', so it means 'send again'. A helpful way to remember it is to think of other simple words with re- like redo or replay, which mean 'do again', so resend means 'send again'.
