The verb resurge means to rise again. You were a hot-shot lawyer back in the day, but then you took some time off to raise your family. Now that your kids are grown, you can enjoy your resurging career and your empty nest.
Resurge has surge as its base word. Surge is from the Latin word surgere, meaning to rise or swell. In its original sense, surge referred to rising water — like a rising tide. Resurge means to come back from a low point to rise again. There is a resurgent interest in early rock groups as more of the older albums are transferred to modern electronic formats and are rediscovered by new listeners.
