Reincarnate

/ˌriɪnˈkɑɹneɪt/ verb

Definition

To be born again in a new body or form, either literally in religious belief or metaphorically as something revived or transformed.

Etymology

From Latin 're-' (again) and 'incarnate' (to make flesh), from 'caro' (flesh). The spiritual concept comes from Hindu and Buddhist philosophy but was Christianized into English theological debate.

Kelly Says

Reincarnation beliefs shaped how billions of people see death and morality—if you'll live again, your actions matter across lifetimes, fundamentally changing how cultures view karma and justice!
