Etymology
'purposefully-revived' originates from the combination of 'purposefully' and 'revived', where 'purposefully' is derived from 'purpose' meaning 'intention' and 'revived' from 'revive' meaning 'to bring back to life'.
'purposefully' evolved from the Old French word 'purpos', and 'revived' from the Latin word 'revivere', eventually forming the modern English term 'purposefully-revived'.
Initially, 'revive' meant 'to bring back to life', and 'purposefully' meant 'with intention'. Together, they evolved to mean 'brought back with deliberate intention'.
