REANIMATE Meaning and Definition

  1. The term "reanimate" refers to the act of restoring life, vitality, or consciousness to something that was previously dead, lifeless, or unconscious. It is derived from the combination of the prefix "re-" meaning "again" or "back," and the word "animate," which pertains to being alive or having the ability to move and act.

    In general usage, to reanimate is to bring back or revive an organism, often from a state of death or hibernation. This can occur through medical intervention, such as using CPR to restart a person's heart or administering medication to resuscitate someone who has experienced cardiac arrest. In a more figurative sense, reanimation can refer to revitalizing or rejuvenating something that has been dormant or inactive, breathing new life into it.

    The term also extends beyond the realm of biological life into the domains of animation and creativity. In the context of animation, reanimate implies giving movement to an inanimate object or creating the illusion of life in a drawing or model. Within the creative arts, reanimating can refer to restoring relevance, interest, or originality to a work or idea that has become stagnant or obsolete.

    Overall, the concept of reanimating involves the restoration of life or vitality to something that has lost those qualities, whether physically, metaphorically, or creatively.

  2. To revive; to restore to life, as a person apparently dead; to infuse new life or courage into.
