Brought back to life after being dead, or revived and renewed after a period of not being used or popular.
From Latin 'resurgere,' combining 're-' (again) and 'surgere' (to rise). The word entered English through religious contexts before expanding to any kind of revival or renewal.
We use 'resurrected' constantly in pop culture—bands reunite, old fashion returns, extinct animals might be cloned. The religious meaning (actual resurrection) gave language a powerful metaphor for rebirth that works literally and figuratively, which is why it's such a satisfying word.
