Back from ashes

Phoenixlike means resembling the phoenix—the mythical bird that burns to death and rises reborn from its ashes.

The word describes dramatic renewal or resurrection after apparent destruction: The company made a phoenixlike recovery from bankruptcy.

It suggests not just survival but transformation through crisis.
