phoenixes
Firebirds that regenerate
Phoenixes is the plural of phoenix, the mythical bird that burns itself to ashes and rises reborn.
The word appears when multiple instances are imagined: The phoenixes of legend inspired countless stories.
More often, phoenix appears in figurative singular use—a person, city, or enterprise that recovers spectacularly from ruin: She rose from bankruptcy like a phoenix.
