rebound

/ɹiˈbaʊnd/

When used as a verb, "rebound" can be either intransitive (the subject bounces back on its own) or transitive (someone actively grabs the ball in sports). In casual conversation, "rebound" is often used to describe a romantic relationship that starts very quickly after a breakup. This is usually seen as a way to cope with emotional pain rather than a long-term commitment. When talking about finance or health, "rebound" implies a return to a previous positive state after a period of decline.
