This verb literally means to bloom or sprout again, like a plant coming back to life after dormancy. Paul uses it metaphorically in Philippians 4:10, rejoicing that the Philippians' care for him has 'bloomed again' after a season when they lacked opportunity to show it. The Spanish revivisteis and German wieder-blühen both capture the sense of renewal—not new growth, but the flourishing again of something that had been alive but dormant.
