rebirth
UK: ˌriːˈbɜːθ | US: ˌriːˈbɜːrθ
n. a new or second birth; revival or renaissance
n. (spiritual) the concept of being born again, especially in a religious or metaphysical context
The word "rebirth" combines the prefix "re-" (from Latin, meaning "again") with the Old English root "birth" (derived from "beran," meaning "to bear or bring forth"). It emerged in Middle English to describe literal or metaphorical renewal, often tied to spiritual or cyclical renewal themes. The prefix "re-" reinforces the idea of repetition, while "birth" anchors the concept in the act of coming into existence. This logical pairing reflects a clear progression from physical birth to symbolic renewal.
