Etymology: This is an inflected form: "vitalised" is the simple past and past participle of "vitalise", which means to energise or give new life to something. The verb is built from the English adjective "vital", which came into English from Latin "vitalis", meaning "of life", itself from "vita", life. The ending "-ise" is a suffix that turns an adjective or noun into a verb meaning to make or cause something to be in a certain state. It descends through Late Latin "-izare", Greek "-izein", and Middle French "-iser", entering English in Middle English as "-isen". So "vitalise" is simply "vital" plus a verb-making suffix, and "vitalised" adds the regular past tense ending "-ed", or the British spelling of "-ized".
