Morphology

revived = revive (semi-transparent) = re + viv + ed

As an adjective, 'revived' is a standard participial form of 'revive' and its meaning is directly predictable from the verb.

Etymology

Revived comes from the parts re- meaning 'again' and vivere meaning 'to live', so it literally means 'made alive again'. That's why something revived is brought back to life, strength, or interest, like a tired runner who feels energetic after rest or a dried plant that perks up with water.
