jumpstart
Cables revive engine
Jumpstart means to start a car with a dead battery by connecting it to another power source—typically another vehicle's battery via cables.
The term extends to reviving anything stalled or sluggish: The tax cuts were meant to jumpstart the economy.
As a noun, a jumpstart is the act itself or any boost that gets something going: Her career got a jumpstart when she won the award.
Also spelled jump-start.
