Morphology

revitalizing = revitalize (transparent) = re + vital + ize + ing

The adjective is a regular -ing form of 'revitalize' and directly means causing something to be revitalized.

Etymology

The word revitalizing puts together re- meaning 'again' and vital from the Latin vita meaning 'life'. So something revitalizing 'gives life again' and makes things strong, active, or healthy.
