Etymology: "Reinvigorated" is the past tense and past participle of "reinvigorate," so it is the form of that verb rather than a word with its own history. The verb is simple to build: it combines the prefix "re-", meaning "again" or "anew," with "invigorate," which means to give vigor or life to something. "Invigorate" itself comes from the Latin "vigor," meaning liveliness or strength, the same root that gives English "vigorous." Adding "re-" makes the sense "to give strength back" or "to restore vigor that had been lost or drained."
Synonyms: revitalized, refreshed, rejuvenated
