復活

• 読み: ふっかつ
• ローマ字: fukkatsu
• 漢字の分解: 復 (return/restore) + 活 (life/activity) → returning to life, revival
• 発音: /ɸɯk.ka.tsɯ/

意味

Revive or respawn — coming back to life after being defeated in a game, or making a comeback after being away.

A versatile term used in gaming to mean both the literal mechanic of respawning and the broader idea of returning to activity after a hiatus. 復活する can describe a player respawning mid-match, a character being revived by a healer, or an inactive player returning to a game community. It also carries weight in sports commentary for dramatic comebacks.

例文

1. あと一回復活できるから落ち着いていこう。
2. 復活したらすぐ合流するから先に行っといて。
3. このゲーム、復活に30秒もかかるのが長すぎる。
