Etymology: "Rejuvenatingly" is simply "rejuvenating" with the adverbial ending "-ly" attached. "Rejuvenating" is the present participle of "rejuvenate," which comes from Latin "juvenis," meaning "young," with the prefix "re-" ("again") added, so the verb literally means "to make young again." The adjective "rejuvenating" describes something that restores vigour or youthfulness, and adding "-ly" turns that description into a manner: something done in a way that revives energy. The "-ly" suffix is one of the oldest and most productive tools in English for turning adjectives into adverbs, and it has been attached to countless adjectives over the centuries. The result is a word with a clear, transparent structure: a Latin verb for youth, a prefix meaning "again," an English participle, and a suffix that describes the manner of an action.
