resited

Resited is the past tense and past participle of the verb resite, meaning to place again at a different location or to relocate a site, structure, or facility. The term is relatively uncommon in everyday usage and is more often found in technical or planning contexts. It can also appear as re-sited or hyphenated re-site in some writings.

The use of resited emphasizes that a component originally located at one site has been moved to a new location. Reasons for resiting can include risk mitigation (such as flooding, erosion, or environmental hazards), the need to improve access or integration with other developments, or preservation and conservation objectives. In fields like archaeology, architecture, civil engineering, and heritage management, resiting a feature or structure may be described with attention to the rationale, logistics, and documentation of the relocation process.

Examples in practice are typically framed around relocation of a building, facility, or artifact, or the adjustment of a project footprint to accommodate infrastructure or environmental constraints. The word is most common in formal reports, project proposals, and case studies where precise wording about relocation is required. Because resited is specialized, it is easy to confuse with similar terms such as resisted or relocated.

See also: resite, relocate, re-siting. Note that resited should not be confused with the more common forms of these words in everyday language; when in doubt, use relocate as a general alternative.
