reanimated
Given life again
Reanimated means brought back to life or restored to activity after death or dormancy.
The word appears most often in horror and science fiction contexts—reanimated corpses, reanimated tissue: The mad scientist reanimated the dead body.
More broadly, it can describe reviving something that had become inactive or moribund: The new funding reanimated the stalled project.
