reinflating

Restoring lost pressure

Reinflating is inflating something again after it has deflated or been deflated.

You reinflate a tire that's gone flat, a pool toy that's lost air, or an air mattress before guests arrive.

Figuratively, governments may reinflate economies or currencies: The central bank's policies aimed at reinflating the housing market.
