vivified

Given new life

Vivified means brought to life or made more lively and animated.

The word comes from roots meaning "to make alive," and that sense of infusing vitality persists: The garden was vivified by spring rain.

Abstract things can be vivified too—a dull presentation vivified by humor, a theory vivified by concrete examples.
