Morphology

invigoration = invigorate (semi-transparent) = in + vigor + ate + ion

The noun is a regular and easily interpretable -ion formation from the verb 'invigorate'.

Etymology

Invigoration comes from the parts in- ('into' or 'make') and vigor ('liveliness' or 'energy'), so you can think of it as 'putting energy into' something. So, invigoration means the act or feeling of becoming more lively and full of energy.
