The word, as attested in britt, is presumably a ghost. Semantically, the word appears to be entirely unrelated to a potential resurgere etymon (which produced English resource and Continental French ressource), and is most likely a misreading of resourte – with a confusion of c and t in thirteenth-century handwriting – to be added to resort¹. Such an interpretation is not possible for the variant reading reçours in MS (C). However, that variant may be read as a form of recurs¹, albeit with an equally problematic semantic shift. The word, as found in Continental French and Early Modern English, does not appear to be attested in Anglo-Norman.
