覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
re-「再び」＋sell「売る」＋-er「人・業者」＋複数の-sと分解します。単数形resellerの商品を仕入れて顧客へ再販売する業者が複数いる形です。語末が有声音なので-sは「ズ」/z/と発音します。authorized resellers「認定再販業者」という定番の組み合わせで覚えると実務で使いやすくなります。
Build resellers from re- (“again”), sell, -er (“a person or business that does something”), and plural -s. A reseller obtains a product or service and sells it onward to another customer. Resellers therefore means more than one such seller. The plural ending is pronounced /z/ because reseller ends in a voiced sound. Remember the common business phrase authorized resellers: these are companies officially permitted to sell and often support another company’s products. This distinguishes them from manufacturers, who make the products.
例文

その会社は、自社製品を販売する前に再販業者へ研修を行います。

resellers の語源・成り立ち Etymology
resellers は re-＋sell＋-er＋-s で、「再び売る人たち」という成り立ちです。sell は古英語 sellan「渡す・売る」、re- はラテン語系で「再び」を表します。一度仕入れたものをもう一度市場に出すイメージが、そのまま「再販業者」の意味につながっています。関連語は resell, seller。
Resellers is the plural of reseller, an English formation based on resell plus the agent suffix -er. Resell combines re-, meaning “again,” with sell, which comes from Old English sellan, originally meaning to give, hand over, or sell. The final -s marks the plural. The word thus refers literally to multiple people or businesses that sell something onward after obtaining it.
