Etymology
1. 1432, from M.Fr.
revivre (10c.), from L.
revivere "to live again," from
re- "again" +
vivere "to live" (see vital).
Revival "the bringing of an old play back to the stage" is from 1664; first used in a religious sense by Cotton Mather, 1702;
revivalist is first attested 1820.
2. The verb is derived from Late Middle English reviven, revyven (“to recover from illness; to regain consciousness; to return to life after death; to happen again, recur; to be rejuvenated, renewed; (figurative) to bring back; (alchemy) of a metal: to be restored to its original form”), from Anglo-Norman reviver, revivre (“to return to life after death; to rejuvenate, renew; to make (a law or legal document) valid again”), Middle French revivre, and Old French revivre (“to return to life after death; to rejuvenate, renew”) (modern French revivre), and directly from their etymon Latin revīvere, the present active infinitive of revīvō (“to live again”), from re- (prefix meaning ‘again’) + vīvō (“to be alive, survive; to live”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *gʷeyh₃- (“to live”)).
3. The noun is derived from the verb. See: French '
revivre'.
