Etymology
Galvanizing comes from the name Galvani, an Italian scientist who saw frog legs twitch when electricity touched them. So to galvanize someone is like giving them a sudden 'shock' or burst of 'energy' that makes them act, which is why a galvanizing speech quickly excites or motivates people.
