Morphology
revitalization = revitalize (transparent) = re + vital + ize + ation
The noun is a regular and highly predictable formation from the verb 'revitalize' meaning the process or result of revitalizing.
Etymology
Revitalization comes from re- meaning 'again' and vital meaning 'life', the same root you see in vitality, so it literally means making something full of life again and that is why it means bringing a place or thing back into active use.
