Rejuvenate Rejuvenated Rejuvenation De Make Young Youthful Give

word rejuvenate
definition To make young or youthful again; to give new vigor to.
eg_sentence He was in bad shape after his wife's death, but everyone says he's been rejuvenated by his remarriage.
explanation Juvenis, Latin for “young,” can be seen in a word such as juvenile. Rejuvenation is something that can be carried out on a creaky old house, a clunker of a car, a sluggish career, a weak economy, or a company that's lost its edge, but rejuvenate and rejuvenation are probably used most often for talking about our physical selves. Ads for lotions promise skin rejuvenation; diet-book covers show rejuvenated (or maybe just young) models bursting with health. We still seem to be searching for that “Fuente de la Juventud” that Juan Ponce de León failed to discover five hundred years ago
