1. The action of restoring to life: After resuscitation, or reanimation, Mr. Charles revived from his apparent death after falling from a tree in his backyard.
2. The fact, or process, of returning to life: The nerve condition in Jane’s legs made her immobile, but after her rehabilitation and reanimation, she slowly made progress so that she could take her first steps after three months of medical treatment!
3. Renewal of vigor or liveliness: Apparently having a good meal gave Thomas the energy and reanimation that he needed in order to proceed with studying for the final exams that were taking place the next day.
