Word origin

The word 'invigorate' originates from the Latin word 'invigorate', which means 'to invigorate or animate'. It entered the English language in the mid-17th century. The prefix 'in-' means 'into' or 'in', and 'vigorate' comes from the Latin 'vigere', meaning 'to be lively or vigorous'. Over time, 'invigorate' has come to represent the act of giving energy, strength, or vitality to someone or something.
