rebirth

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'new appearance' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'river tiber new height' is the wordplay.
'river' becomes 'r' (abbreviation for river).
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'height' becomes 'h' (abbreviation in geometry).
'tiber' anagrammed gives 'ebirt'.
'r'+'ebirt'+'h'='REBIRTH'

'at' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rebirth that I've seen before include "spiritual enlightenment" , "Renascence" , "Revival; reincarnation" , "Start of a new life?" , "Spiritual renewal" .)
