respark
Light up again
To respark is to reignite something that has faded or gone dormant—a relationship, enthusiasm, creativity, or interest: The trip helped respark their marriage, She's trying to respark her passion for painting.
The word implies a previous spark that went out, distinguishing it from simply sparking something new.
