Exuscitate

/ɛɡˈzʌs.ɪ.teɪt/ verb

Definition

To arouse, awaken, or rouse from sleep or dormancy; a very rare synonym for awakening.

Etymology

From Latin 'exuscitare' (to awaken, to rouse), from 'ex-' (out) + 'suscitare' (to rouse up). The root 'suscitare' also gives us 'susceptible' and relates to Latin 'citare' (to stir, to call).

Kelly Says

This beautiful but nearly extinct word appears in medieval and Renaissance texts as a poetic alternative to simple 'awaken,' suggesting that older writers had much more elaborate vocabulary for the subtle states between sleep and wakefulness.
