To recover; to bounce back; to get back on one's feet after a setback or difficulty.

A Group 1 (godan) compound verb from 立つ (to stand) and 直る (to be corrected, to return to normal). It describes recovering from a difficult situation — illness, failure, grief, or economic hardship — and returning to a stable, functional state.
