revival

[C/U] Both
pl: revivalspast: nullpp: nulling: nullcomp: nullsup: null

This word carries a strong sense of restoration and energy, suggesting that something which was dormant or dead has been brought back to life. It is often used in cultural, artistic, or historical contexts to describe the sudden return of a trend or a style that had been forgotten. In a religious or spiritual sense, it implies a collective awakening or a surge of passion. While similar to restoration, revival emphasizes the return of vitality and spirit rather than just the physical repair of an object.

Countable when referring to a specific event or movement, such as a gospel revival. Uncountable when referring to the general process of returning to a former state of strength or popularity.
