'rebirth' originates from English, specifically the prefix 're-' and the word 'birth', where 're-' meant 'again' and 'birth' meant 'the act of being born'.

'rebirth' changed from Middle English 'rebirthe' and eventually became the modern English word 'rebirth'.

Initially, it meant 'a second birth' or 'being born again', but over time it evolved to include figurative senses of 'renewal' or 'revival'.
