revivify
Bring back vitality
To revivify is to bring back to life or restore vitality—a more emphatic form of revive.
The word suggests breathing new energy into something dormant or nearly dead: The rain revivified the parched garden.
It applies to abstract things as readily as physical ones: a director hoping to revivify the franchise, attempts to revivify the peace process.
