Vocabulary Shout-Out: Kathryn Schulz for "Recrudescence"

In the May 13 issue of New York Magazine, Kathryn Schulz introduced a critique of F. Scott Fitzgerald's much-beloved novel The Great Gatsby with a reference to the current movie-driven Gatsby resurgence as a recrudescence:

Recrudescence means "a return of something [usually negative] after an abatement," and it's a word you're not likely to see often. A quick look at the usage tracker (see below) on the Vocabulary.com Dictionary page shows that it appears primarily in literature, rather than in News, Medicine/Science, Business, Arts/Culture, Sports, or Tech.

But that doesn't mean that you, like Schulz, can't enjoy using this word, which allows you to sneak "crud" into a high-minded description of something you're not a fan of (that is nevertheless enjoying a return to popularity).
