bounce-back
Quick setback recovery
Bounce-back describes recovery or return to a previous state after a setback.
As a noun, it's the rebound itself: The team's bounce-back from last season's losses impressed everyone.
As an adjective, it modifies recovery-related nouns: a bounce-back victory, bounce-back ability.
The hyphenated form typically functions as a modifier; the verb phrase is usually two words: She bounced back quickly.
