Two weeks ago the creek was still bridged with ice, but now it is running free and starting to rise. 

Doesn’t the word redux make you wonder?

brought back; resurgent: the Victorian era redux.



[Origin: 1650–60; < L: returning (as from war or exile), n. deriv. (with pass. sense) of redūcere to bring back; see reduce]
