What is revenant meaning?

Revenant is a word that is often used to refer to a person who has returned from the dead or a ghostly presence that haunts a place. It originated from the French word 'revenir', which means 'to return'. The term is commonly used in folklore, horror movies, and other forms of popular culture to refer to a supernatural entity that comes back from the afterlife to seek vengeance or complete unfinished business. The revenant is often depicted as a malevolent force that seeks to harm the living, but there are also instances where it is a sympathetic character seeking justice or redemption.
