Origin: 1325–75; (v.) Middle English resorten < Old French resortir, equivalent to re-re- + sortir to go out, leave, escape, perhaps ultimately < Latin sortīrī to draw lots, though sense development unclear; (noun) Middle English < Old French ressort, derivative of ressortir
late 14c., "that to which one has recourse for aid or assistance," from O.Fr. resort "resource, help," back-formation from resortir "to resort," lit. "to go out again," from re- "again" + sortir "go out" (see sortie). Meaning "place people go for recreation" is first recorded
