recrudescence
noun Figuratively, a return; a re-appearance: as “The Recrudescence of Imray,” the original title of a story by Rudyard Kipling in “Mine Own People.”
The state of being recrudescent, or becoming raw or exacerbated again.
Hence A reopening; renewal; a coming into existence anew; a fresh outbreak.
Recrudescence derives from the Latin verb recrudescere, meaning "to become raw again" (used, for example, of wounds). Ultimately, it can be traced back to the Latin word for raw," which is "crudus." (If you suspect that "crude" is also derived from "crudus," you are correct; another well-known descendant is "cruel.") In its literal sense, "recrudescence" is a medical word denoting a renewed outbreak of a disease. In extended use, it most often describes the return of an undesirable condition, such as a war or a plague, or the return of an undesirable idea.

Leftists are hoping for a recruescence of covid.
If it doesn’t occur, they will make one.
Just a coincidence?.................😎
Becoming crude again.
I'd say it fits the sentence.
It’s a word for the return of the creeping crud—the Wuhan flu kind of crud in this case—and I’ve got it bad this time. Caught it in the hospital both times. Starting to believe the hospital is not a safe place to be.
“Crud” is used more for the dried-up remnant of something disgusting or repugnant or “raw,” as with a deposit of filth or from a weeping sore from a disease, or excrement, or “issue” (blood, pus, ejaculate), or for someone or something that embodies those. “Curd” is likely a regional dialect variant (middle English). So they’re all related words (cruel, crude, crud, curd).
But I have a very hard time reading or using recrudescence simply to imply the return or repeat of something, because it really means the repeat process of becoming/depositing/exposing something FILTHY or disgusting to the average person, such as dried feces/pus/ejaculate.
(Of course, one’s own poo doesn’t stink, etc.).
I always took it to mean “the reappearance of something unpleasant you thought had been gotten rid of.”
"The problem basically is theological and involves a spiritual recrudescence and improvement of human character that will synchronize with our almost matchless advances in science, art, literature and all the material and cultural developments of the past 2000 years. It must be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh.”
The Dims are trying to engineer the recrudescence of the COVID scare to enhance their chances in the 2024 elections!
“Recrudescence” = Clearly, to Re Crud your system....
Sounds like a perfume fragrance for Pelosi.
We have today’s winner already.
