The word "resurrection" comes from the Latin term "resurrectio", which is derived from the verb "resurgere". "Resurgere" is composed of two elements: "re-" meaning "again", and "surgere" meaning "to rise" or "to stand up". Hence, "resurrectio" can be translated as "to rise again" or "to be raised up". This Latin term ultimately influenced the formation of the word "resurrection" in English.
