vi. (of a feeling or phenomenon) to re-emerge strongly

- re: A Latin prefix meaning "again" or "back," indicating repetition or restoration.
- surge: From Latin surgere ("to rise"), derived from sub- ("up from below") + regere ("to guide, direct"). In English, it means a sudden powerful forward or upward movement.
Etymology Origin:
The word "resurge" combines the Latin prefix re- with surge, reflecting a literal or figurative "rising again." It first appeared in English in the early 17th century, often used to describe renewed energy, revival, or resurgence after a period of decline. The logic is straightforward: re- signals repetition, while surge conveys upward motion, together forming "to rise anew."
