The belief that a soul is reborn in a new body after death; more generally, something that appears in a new form or embodiment.
From Latin re- (again) and incarnare (to make flesh), literally meaning 'to make flesh again.' The term entered English through religious and philosophical discussions, later extending to mean any rebirth or new manifestation.
Reincarnation literally means 'in the flesh again' - think of chili con carne (chili with meat), because 'carne' means flesh or meat, so reincarnation is getting a new meat suit!
