Root Explanation

Revitalise → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "vitalis" (from Latin, meaning of life or vital). The word means to give new life or energy to something, essentially bringing it back to a lively state.

Memory Tip

Think of 're-' meaning again and 'vitalis' meaning life — so to revitalize is to bring something back to life or energy.
