Etymology: "Refreshen" is simply "freshen" with the prefix "re-" attached, meaning "to make fresh again." The base verb "freshen" comes from "fresh," which is an Old English adjective ("fersc") that originally described water, as in unsalted, and only later came to mean new, cool, or vigorous. "Re-" is the familiar Latin prefix meaning "again" or "back," so the word is a straightforward compound: to freshen once more, to restore a former newness.

Synonyms: refresh, freshen, renew, revive
