respawns
Comes back alive
Respawns is the third-person singular of respawn, a gaming term for reappearing in the game world after being killed or destroyed.
Players respawn at designated points to continue playing: She respawns at the checkpoint after falling off the cliff.
The concept has spread to figurative use for any return after setback: The same bad idea respawns every few years.
