Etymology: "Vitalizers" is the plural of "vitalizer," a noun formed from the verb "vitalize" with the agent suffix "-er," meaning something or someone that vitalizes, or imparts life and energy. The plural form simply applies this to more than one thing, so a set of vitalizers is a set of agents that each give energy. The verb "vitalize" is built on "vital," which comes from Latin "vitalis," meaning "of life," from "vita," life. Adding "-ize," a suffix that turns a noun or adjective into a verb meaning to make or cause something to be or become, gives "vitalize," to make alive or to endow with vigor. The agent suffix "-er" then names the thing doing the endowing.
