revive

== English == === Etymology === The verb is derived from Late Middle English reviven, revyven (“to recover from illness; to regain consciousness; to return to life after death; to happen again, recur; to be rejuvenated, renewed; (figurative) to bring back; (alchemy) of a metal: to be restored to its original form”), from Anglo-Norman reviver, revivre (“to return to life after death; to rejuvenate, renew; to make (a law or legal document) valid again”), Middle French revivre, and Old French revivre (“to return to life after death; to rejuvenate, renew”) (modern French revivre), and directly from their etymon Latin revīvere, the present active infinitive of revīvō (“to live again”), from re- (prefix meaning ‘again’) + vīvō (“to be alive, survive; to live”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *gʷeyh₃- (“to live”)). The noun is derived from the verb. === Pronunciation === (weak vowel distinction) IPA(key): /ɹɪˈvaɪ̯v/, [ɹʷɪˈvaɪ̯v] IPA(key): /ɹiˈvaɪv/, [ɹʷɪi̯ˈvaɪv] (weak vowel merger) IPA(key): /ɹəˈvaɪ̯v/, [ɹʷəˈvaɪ̯v] Rhymes: -aɪv Hyphenation: re‧vive === Verb === revive (third-person singular simple present revives, present participle reviving, simple past and past participle revived) (transitive) To cause (a person or animal) to recover from a faint; to cause (a person or animal) to return to a state of consciousness.
