Morphology

reborn = born (semi-transparent) = re + born

The meaning 'restored or revived' is a metaphorical extension of 'born again' applied to non-living entities, which is related but less literal.

Etymology

Reborn comes from the parts re- 'again' and born 'to be born'. Think of a place or feeling given 'new life' as if it were born again, which is why reborn means 'restored' or 'revived'.
