Etymology: "Vitalisations" is the plural of "vitalisation," a noun formed from the verb "vitalise," meaning to give life or vitality to something. The verb is built from "vital" plus the verb-forming suffix "-ise" (spelled "-ize" in American usage), with "-ation" added to turn the action into a noun. "Vital" itself comes from Latin "vitalis," meaning "of life," from "vita," life, and entered English in the late 1500s, while the verb "vitalise" followed in the 1800s. Both parts of the word are easy to trace, so the formation is the whole story. The plural form simply counts separate acts or instances of vitalising, as when a doctor or therapist describes several distinct treatments, or a writer discusses different revivals of a dying tradition.
