jumpstarting
Giving emergency power
Jumpstarting is the process of starting a car with a dead battery by connecting it to another power source, typically another vehicle's battery using cables.
The term extends naturally to any effort to give something a quick boost or get it moving after a period of inactivity: The tax cuts were designed to jumpstart the economy.
Whether applied to engines or endeavors, jumpstarting implies providing the initial energy needed to get something running on its own.
