Rennervate (REN-er-vayt)

"en-" Old French from "in-" L. cause to be + "nerves" Eng. c.1603 strength, from "nervus" L. nerve

See Edits and Changes to the Text - GF; this spell has been officially renamed by JKR from its original name. Some versions list this spell as "Enervate," which changes the etymology quite a bit. In fact, if the word was really Enervate, the Latin origins would have exactly the opposite meaning from what it meant as Ennervate.

Spell used to revive a person who has been hit by a Stunner.

• Amos Diggory woke up Winky with this (GF9)

• Dumbledore used it to revive Barty Crouch junior (GF35)

• Dumbledore also used it to revive Viktor Krum after he was stunned while watching over Barty Crouch senior (GF28).
