resurge

Resurge is a verb meaning to rise again or to make a return after a period of inactivity, decline, or suppression. It is used to describe systems, trends, or phenomena that become active or prominent again, such as a market resuming growth after a downturn, public interest resurging after a lull, or a disease showing renewed transmission. The noun form is resurgence, and the adjective form is resurgent.

Origin and forms: Resurge derives from the prefix re- (again) and surge (to rise), ultimately from Latin surgere. In modern English, resurgence is more common as a noun, while resurge is used as a verb. The related adjective is resurgent. Typical usage contrasts with rebound or revive, which may be clearer when the emphasis is on recovery rather than the act of rising again. Examples: "The market began to resurge after the stimulus." "After a long drought, momentum resurged in the following quarter."
