释义 | revive (once / 184 pages) v To revive something is to provide it with new energy or life, like when you revive a drooping plant by watering it, or when you revive a boring party by breaking out the karaoke machine. Revive comes from the Latin roots re-, meaning “again,” and vivere, meaning “to live.” So, the word revive means “live again.” While the possibility of bringing folks back from the dead isn’t something we’re qualified to comment on, we will note that revive can be used in a sense that’s very close to its literal meaning; specifically, revive can mean “cause someone to regain consciousness.” WORD FAMILYrevive: revival, revived, revives, reviving+/revival: revivalism, revivals/revivalism: revivalist, revivalistic/revivalist: revivalists/revived: unrevived/reviving: revivingly USAGE EXAMPLESBut Dayton vetoed the package due to a costly wording error, and plans to revive it in special session never materialized.
