Morphology

revivifier = revivify (transparent) = revive + ify + er

Agentive '-er' on the verb 'revivify' yields 'one who revivifies', and the underlying verb is transparently built from 'revive' + '-ify'.

Etymology

Revivifier comes from the parts re- ('again') and viv- ('live'), the same root you see in revive. So a revivifier is a person or thing that 'brings back to life' or makes something active and successful again.
