Rejuvenate originated as a combination of the prefix re-, which means "again," with a Latin term that also gave us the words juvenile and junior—juvenis, meaning "young, + the suffix ate, which generally means "to cause to become" or "to act as,".   It's also suggested by obsolete French rejeunir. 

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first known use of the word "rejuvenate" in English was around the mid-18th century, with the earliest recorded evidence appearing in 1742 in a translation by John Kelly, writer. 


Examples of rejuvenate in a sentence: 

"The spa treatment rejuvenated me". 

"The government has green-lit the rejuvenation of a further 170 parks and playgrounds in a five-year project". 

"The rejuvenation of the company is now in safe hands". 

"The rejuvenation has helped the passing game open up the playbook". 

"The promise of spring draws thoughts of hope and rejuvenation". 

"The most severe rejuvenation pruning is to cut a shrub nearly to the ground". 

"The rejuvenation of the old buildings had been undone in a flash". 

"The effect can be tremendous, with benefits including rejuvenation of microorganisms". 

"The football field, the park and the houses surrounding it have been rejuvenated". 

"A vacation is supposed to be filled with fun, rejuvenation and relaxation".

Rejuvenation is an appealing idea. Spring is all about restoration and rejuvenation.

As an aside, there are 222 songs with rejuvenation in the lyrics.

I wish I could be rejuvenated.  I wouldn't mind being 21 or 25 again.
