Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “rise from the ashes“ and its meaning is “to emerge stronger and more powerful from a disaster/crisis/destruction; emerge renewed, emerge reborn, become successful again, comeback, start again”.
Example Sentence: Mr. Putin is neither a crafty strategist nor a charismatic hero who has risen from the ashes of the Soviet defeat to lead Russia into a new period of resurgence. His reputation has been severely bruised (damaged) because a comedian-turned-politician next door has exposed the hollowness (emptiness) of Russia’s military tactics and operational planning.
