覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
resurfaces は resurface の三人称単数現在形で、語尾は -s だが発音は /ɪz/ が加わる。re-「再び」＋surface「表面に出る」から、rumor resurfaces「噂が再浮上する」や whale resurfaces「クジラが再び水面に出る」と覚える。他動詞なら道路を「再舗装する」。
Break resurfaces into re-, meaning “again,” and surfaces, meaning “comes to the surface.” It is the third-person singular present form of resurface, made by adding -s; because the base ends in a sibilant sound, the ending is pronounced /ɪz/. Picture an old rumor appearing again or a whale returning to the water’s surface: “the rumor resurfaces” and “the whale resurfaces.” In a transitive construction, a city or contractor resurfaces a road by giving it a new top layer. These two scenes preserve the same core idea of restoring or returning to a surface.

resurfaces の類義語・関連語
resurfaces の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 re-（再び）+ フランス語 surface（表面）から成る。surfaceは sur（上に）+ face（面）の合成語。「再び表面に現れる」が原義で、道路の再舗装の意味もある。関連語: surface（表面）、superficial（表面的な）。
Resurfaces is the inflected form of resurface, built from the prefix re-, “again,” and the verb surface. Surface entered English through French and ultimately combines elements meaning “above” and “face.” The literal idea is coming to the surface again. The verb later also developed the causative sense of applying a new surface, especially to a road, floor, or similar area.
