reinflated
Given air again
Reinflated is the past tense of reinflate, meaning to inflate something again after it has deflated or been deflated.
The term applies literally to physical objects like tires, balloons, or air mattresses: We reinflated the pool toys at the start of summer.
It also appears in economic and financial contexts, where analysts speak of reinflated housing bubbles or reinflated asset prices, suggesting a return to potentially unsustainable levels after a previous correction.
