resurgido

Resurgido is the participle of the Spanish verb resurgir and appears chiefly as an adjective describing something that has reemerged after a decline or interruption. It can modify nouns: "una población resurgida", "movimientos resurgidos". In some contexts, it may function as a past participle in passive constructions, but more commonly it is used as an adjective.

Etymology: resurgir comes from Latin resurgere, formed from re- (again) + surgere (to rise). The past participle resurgido agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies.

Usage: The term is common in journalism, history, politics, sociology, and medicine to denote revival or reemergence. For example: "la economía resurgida tras la crisis" (the economy that has risen again after the crisis); "un brote resurgido de la enfermedad" (a reemerged outbreak). When the emphasis is on the ongoing revival, "resurgente" is often preferred. The related noun "resurgimiento" denotes the process or event of resurgence.
