Etymology
The word 'rejuvenate' comes from the Latin word 'juvenis' which means 'young'. It first appeared in English in the mid-19th century, derived from the French 'rejuvénér', and was used to indicate the act of making young again or restoring youthfulness. Over time, 'rejuvenated' has evolved to encompass broader meanings related to revitalizing energy, spirit, or appearance, not just in a physical sense but also emotionally and spiritually. Its use expanded as the concepts of wellness and self-care gained prominence, making it a popular term in health and beauty industries.
