To revitalize something is to put new strength or power into it. You revitalize a tired shopping street, a weak team, or a brand people have forgotten. It is a verb for plans and action: someone is doing the strengthening on purpose. For a person who fainted, or a plant that looks dead, English speakers more often say revive — though actually advertising loves revitalize for a person’s energy or skin. The word feels a bit formal or business-like, a cousin of vital (about life), so the picture is “make it alive again.” British spelling may be revitalise.
振興；活化；使恢復活力
組成From re- + vital + -ize: “to make full of life again.”
