Morphology

reviving = revive (transparent) = revive + ing

The adjective is a straightforward participial formation from the verb 'revive' and keeps the sense of causing renewed life or energy.

Etymology

Reviving comes from the parts re- meaning 'again' and viv meaning 'alive', the same root you see in survive and vivid. So something reviving brings back energy and makes you feel 'alive' again.
