2. To refresh and uplift, leading to increased energy and enthusiasm within a context or person, thereby enhancing overall activity levels

Etymology: This is an inflected form, the third-person singular present of "invigorate," which means to give new energy or life to someone or something. The base verb was first recorded in English in 1646 and was borrowed from New Latin "invigoratus," the past participle of "invigorare," which combines "in-" (meaning "into" or "make") with "vigor," from Latin "vigor" (strength, liveliness). The "-ate" ending turns it into a verb, so the word literally means something like "to put strength into."
