rally

Bounce back strongly

Rally centers on gathering or recovering strength.

People rally to a cause, coming together in support; a political rally is such a gathering.

In sports and markets, a rally is a comeback after decline: Stocks rallied in afternoon trading.

In tennis and similar games, a rally is an extended exchange of shots.

To rally someone is to rouse them or tease them good-naturedly: His friends rallied him about the mistake.
