recrudescence (noun) - the recurrence of an undesirable condition or state [ree-kroo-des-uhns]

BREAKDOWN: RE- (back) + CRUD- (rough, raw) + -ESCENCE (growing or becoming)

  • recrudescent means happening again, usually in relation to something bad

“War is going to end not in the complete smashing up and subjugation of either side, but in a general exhaustion that will make the recrudescence of the war still possible but very terrifying.” ―H.G. Wells
