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.
So, we won’t have to put up with the recrudescence of Mitt Romney since he is not going to run again for senator?
Never thought I’d see a recrudescence with that song:
Actually, I like the song.
Please ping me.
I scraped some recrudescence off the bottom of my boots where I accidentally stepped in some.
Great word! Very high end word.
Yep, that worked out great!
Well. You see, the first group that tried to descend to the Titanic never arrived. I mean, they eventually got there, but in smaller pieces than they started.
So the next team to go down will be the recrewdescendents.
Hopefully 45s recrudescence mskes it to the finish line.
