resuscitative = resuscitate (transparent) = resuscitate + ive
Clearly formed by adding an adjectival suffix to 'resuscitate', so the meaning 'relating to reviving' is directly predictable from the base.
Etymology
The word resuscitative comes from Latin parts re- meaning 'again' and suscitare meaning 'to wake or raise up'. So, a resuscitative action is one that 'brings back to life', which is why we use it for medical measures, repairs, or policies that revive someone or something.
