genopståen

Genopståen is a Danish noun meaning the act of rising again, revival, or resurgence. The word is formed from genop- “again” and stå “to rise,” with the definite article suffix -en.

In religious contexts, genopståen can refer to resurrection—the coming back to life after death. In Danish theology and biblical language, opstandelse is the standard term for this concept, while genopståen is more literary or archaic and may appear in poetry or older writings.

Secular or metaphorical usage covers revival or re-emergence after a period of decline: the genopståen of a tradition, a language, a movement, or an interest. It can also describe a person experiencing a revival of health, fame, or fortune, though this usage tends to be formal and symbolic rather than everyday speech.

Register and synonyms: genopståen tends toward a formal, literary style. In modern Danish, you would commonly encounter genopståelse or opstandelse depending on nuance. The term is not a standard medical or scientific designation.

Overall, genopståen conveys the notion of something existing again after dormancy, whether in religious, cultural, or personal contexts, and is most often found in more elevated or historical language.
