resorber  

In the absence of a verb *orber, the ras- prefix has been interpreted as a reflex of re- + asorber.

v.a.

1to blind (in turn), deprive of sight (as a form of punishment): 
( 1171-74; MS: c.1200 )  [...] dunc serunt tut quite de lur membres clamé. E se puis resunt pris, dunc seient essorbé (var. (H: s.xii4/4) serrunt resorbé), Escorchié e pendu, a vostre volenté  1154 (var.)
