reincarnation

This term carries a spiritual weight, often associated with Dharmic religions like Hinduism and Buddhism, where it describes a cosmic cycle of rebirth governed by karma. It suggests a continuity of essence or soul across different physical existences. In a secular or metaphorical sense, the word describes a revival or a striking resemblance. When a person is called the reincarnation of another, it implies they possess the same charisma, talent, or spirit as a predecessor, effectively bringing a past legacy back to life in the present.
