The term resurrection is used in the literal sense to mean either the religious concept of the reunion of the spirit and the body of a dead person, or the return to life of a dead person. It is used in a figurative sense about broken or discontinued things which were never alive, but which have been restored to a functional state; for example a company which had failed but is reopened by a new owner. Rebirth is a different but analogous religious concept. The word resuscitation is used for return to life after clinical death by medical procedures.
Today, the word is sometimes also used to indicate the resuscitation/revival of some thing or idea from a death-state, such as ruin, disinterest, obscurity, etc. |
