Origin: From ri- (again) + comparire ('to appear'), from Latin comparere.

Also means

to resurface

Usage Note

Ricomparire conjugates like comparire and takes essere as its auxiliary (è ricomparso). It implies something or someone that had been absent or hidden is now appearing again. The past participle is ricomparso/a. Do not use avere — the essere/avere distinction here is a common learner error.

Examples

"Il sole è ricomparso dopo la tempesta."
