redivivus \red-uh-VY-vuhs; -VEE-\ , adjective:
Living again; brought back to life; revived; restored.
I wasn't at all familiar with this word; when I first saw it, I thought "That sounds like some spell Harry Potter would do!" He'd flick his wand and say REDIVIVUS! and the skidmarks would come out of his underwear or sumpthin'.
Some of these words are too high-falutin', y'know? If it means "revived" or "restored", why not just say "revived" or "restored"?
