Morphology
revive = re + vive
The general meaning of bringing something back to life or activity is fairly inferable from 're-' plus the bound root 'vive', but the root is not an independent English word and the figurative extensions are not fully transparent.
Etymology
Revive comes from the parts re- ('again') and vivere ('to live'), so it literally means 'to make live again'. That's why you can revive a fashion, an interest, or a company — you bring it back to life or popularity.
