'resettle' originates from the prefix 're-' meaning 'again' and the word 'settle' from Old English 'setlan', meaning 'to place or arrange'.

'settle' changed from the Old English word 'setlan' and eventually became the modern English word 'settle'.

Initially, it meant 'to place or arrange', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to establish a home in a new place'.
