Reinvigorated

Part of speech: verb

Definitions

  1. Renewed energy or vitality can result from a process that revives or revitalizes something's previous state of liveliness
  2. The restoration or enhancement of vigor in an entity may result in a notable increase in its liveliness and enthusiasm
  3. Having energy or strength restored after a period of decline or weakness

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
