词源
resign (v.)late 14c., “give up (something), surrender, abandon, submit; relinquish (an office, position, right, claim),” from Old French resigner “renounce, relinquish” (13c.), from Latin resignare “to check off, annul, cancel, give back, give up,” from re-, here perhaps denoting “opposite” (see re-), + signare “to make an entry in an account book,” literally “to mark,” from Latin signum “identifying mark, sign” (see sign (n.)).
The notion is of making an entry (signum) “opposite” — on the credit side — balancing the former mark and thus canceling the claim it represents. The specific meaning “give up a position” also is from late 14c.  The sense of “to give (oneself) up to some emotion or situation” is from 1718. Related: Resigned; resigning.Related entries & more

下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
resign (v.)late 14c.,“放弃(某事),投降,放弃,提交;放弃(职位,职位,权利,要求)”,来自古法语 resigner “放弃,放弃”(13c.),来自拉丁语 resignare “核对、取消、取消、归还、放弃”,来自 re-,这里可能表示“相反”(参见 re-),+signare “在账簿中进行记录”,字面意思是“到” mark”源自拉丁语signum“识别标记、标志”(参见sign (n.))。其概念是在贷方的“相反”位置上添加一个条目(记号),以平衡前一个标记,从而取消它所代表的主张。 “放弃位置”的具体含义也是从14c下旬开始的。 “屈服于某种情感或情况”的含义来自 1718 年。辞职。相关条目及更多
