reemergence
再出現
解説 Definition
再出現。何かが消えた後に再び現れること。
Reemergence is the return of something that had disappeared, become weak, or not been seen for some time. It is often used for diseases, problems, ideas, or styles that appear again after a period of absence. The word suggests that the thing existed before and has come back.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
まず re- は「再び」、emerge は「現れる」。この2つが見えれば、reemergence は直感的に「再び現れること」。さらに -ence は action→appearance のように「動作・現象」を名詞化する語尾なので、動詞 reemerge の名詞形だと整理すると忘れにくい。よくあるのは disease reemergence, the reemergence of conflict のように、いったん消えた病気・問題・対立がまた表面化する場面。resurgence は「勢いを取り戻す」感じが強く、reemergence はまず「再び姿を見せる」に意識を置くと区別しやすい。
Split it into `re-` + `emerge` + `-ence`. `Re-` means again, `emerge` means come out or appear, and `-ence` makes it a noun, so you can feel the pattern: "appearing again." It often goes with things that disappeared before, like disease, conflict, or old problems.

reemergence の語源・成り立ち Etymology
reemergenceはre-「再び」+ emergence「出現」の結合。emergeはラテン語emergereにさかのぼり、e-「外へ」+ mergere「沈める・浸す」から成るため、もとは「水中から浮かび上がる」感覚をもつ。そこから「再び姿を現す」という意味が自然に生まれ、関連語はemerge, submerge。
Reemergence is formed from re-, meaning "again," and emergence. Emerge comes from Latin emergere, made from e-, meaning "out," and mergere, meaning "to dip" or "sink." Its earliest image is of something rising out of water, which later widened to the idea of appearing again after being hidden or absent.
