Where it comes from
From Middle English resurreccioun, resurrection, from Anglo-Norman resurrectiun, Old French resurrection (French: résurrection), and their etymon Late Latin resurrēctiōnem (accusative of resurrēctiō) from Latin resurgō (“to rise again”), from re- (“again”), + surgō (“to rise”). By surface analysis, resurrect + -ion. Displaced native Old English ǣrist.
