Morphology
invigorate = invigor (semi-transparent) = in + vigor + ate
The suffix '-ate' is common in English, but the transformation from 'invigor' to 'invigorate' involves a semantic shift that may not be immediately obvious to learners.
Etymology
Invigorate comes from the parts in- meaning 'into' and vigor meaning 'strength' or 'life'. So to invigorate someone or something is to put 'strength' or new energy into it, making it feel lively and refreshed.
