Etymology

The word "resurgence" combines the Latin prefix re- (meaning "again") with the root surgere (meaning "to rise"), derived from sub- (up) + regere (to lead). The suffix -ence forms a noun indicating a state or action. Historically, it reflects the idea of something "rising again" after a period of dormancy, often used in contexts like cultural movements, diseases, or economic trends.
