Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin resurrectus, the past participle of resurgere (meaning 'to rise again'), combining re- ('again') and surgere ('to rise'). It entered Middle English in the 15th century initially with a strictly religious sense concerning the dead rising, before expanding metaphorically to include bringing inactive practices, memories, or situations back into use.
