“Redivivus” developed from the Latin prefix “re-” (“again”) and “vivus” (“living”), translating as “to be reborn.” If the adjective “redivivus” applies to you, maybe you have been reincarnated — people who believe they have been reincarnated have experienced a past life before the one they currently live in. Some Asian religions, such as Buddhism, believe that people can reincarnate as a nonhuman life form, and have a redivivus life as an insect or an animal.
