Best Answer

Resume comes from Latin (via Old French). 1375-1425; late Middle English resumen (< Middle French resumer) < Latin resūmere to take back, take again, equivalent to re- re- + sūmere to

Résumé comes from a later version of the same word: 1795-1805; < French, noun use of past participle of résumer to sum up.
