Root Explanation

Reviver → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "vivere" (meaning to live) and the suffix "-er" (meaning one who). The word "reviver" refers to one who brings something back to life or restores it to a previous state of vitality.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who helps something 'live again' — 're-' means again, 'vivere' means to live, and '-er' indicates a person. A reviver is someone who brings life back.
