Glossary Entry: Respawn
Definition
Entities and items in games are often removed from the game, or despawned during gameplay. Adding them back in is known as "respawning" them.
Some things are more likely to be respawned than others, such as the player's character. Most of these objects also have a spawn point, a designated location for them to be placed back into the game world.
