Root Explanation

Resuscitator → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "suscitare" (meaning to raise or revive). The word "resuscitator" refers to a person or device that brings someone back to life or consciousness again.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'raises' ('suscitare') someone 'again' ('re-') — that's why a resuscitator is someone or something that helps bring a person back to life.
