återuppgång

Återuppgång is a Swedish noun meaning a return to a previous higher level after a decline; it encompasses ideas of revival, resurgence, or recovery. The term is formed from åter meaning "again" and uppgång meaning "rise" or "upward movement." In everyday use it can refer to an economic upturn, a cultural revival, or a restoration of fortunes in various domains.

In economics, the phrase ekonomisk återuppgång is common to describe a recovery following a recession or downturn; likewise, a broader societal or regional upturn may be described as en återuppgång.

In religion, the term can refer to resurrection or rebirth; however, in theological contexts the more common term for the doctrinal event is återuppståndelse.

In culture and the arts, the word is used to describe revival of interest, traditions, or movements—e.g., a återuppgång of folk music (folkmusik) or a literary revival.

Notes on usage: The nuance differs with context; the term tends to be formal and literary. In everyday Swedish, terms such as återhämtning or uppgång are also used for recovery, while återuppgång emphasizes turning point and revival.
