reigniting
Lighting once more
Reigniting is lighting again something that has gone out or faded.
A fire reignites when embers catch fresh fuel.
More often figurative: reigniting a romance, reigniting debate, reigniting interest in a forgotten cause.
The prefix re- emphasizes renewal—something that burned before is burning again.
