renascent

adj. meaning 1: undergoing revival or renewal; being reborn
adj. meaning 2: relating to a renaissance or resurgence
The word "renascent" combines the Latin prefix "re-" (meaning "again") with the present participle "nascent" (from Latin "nascens," meaning "being born"). It directly reflects the concept of something being "born again" or experiencing renewal. The term gained prominence during the Renaissance ("rebirth") period, emphasizing cultural and intellectual revival. Its structure logically mirrors its meaning—repetition (re-) of birth (nascent).
