Resiniform : Having the form of resin.
Resino-electric : Containing or exhibiting resinous electricity.
Resinoid : Somewhat like resin.
Resinous : Of or pertaining to resin; of the nature of resin; resembling or obtained from resin.
Resinously : By means, or in the manner, of resin.

Resinousness : The quality of being resinous.

Resipiscence : Wisdom derived from severe experience; hence, repentance.
Resist : Something that resists or prevents a certain action; ;; A substance applied to a surface, as of metal, to prevent the action on it of acid or other chemical agent. ;; To stand against; to withstand; to obstruct. ;; To strive against; to endeavor to counteract, defeat, or frustrate; to act in opposition to; to oppose. ;; To counteract, as a force, by inertia or reaction. ;; To be distasteful to. ;; To make opposition. ;; A substance used to prevent a color or mordant from fixing on those parts to which it has been applied, either by acting machanically in preventing the color, etc., from reaching the cloth, or chemically in changing the color so as to render it incapable of fixing itself in the fibers.. The pastes prepared for this purpose are called resist pastes.
Resistance : The act of resisting; opposition, passive or active. ;; The quality of not yielding to force or external pressure; that power of a body which acts in opposition to the impulse or pressure of another, or which prevents the effect of another power; as, the resistance of the air to a body passing through it; the resistance of a target to projectiles. ;; A means or method of resisting; that which resists. ;; A certain hindrance or opposition to the passage of an electrical current or discharge offered by conducting bodies. It bears an inverse relation to the conductivity, -- good conductors having a small resistance, while poor conductors or insulators have a very high resistance. The unit of resistance is the ohm.
