The term "reactivating" is derived from the verb "reactivate". The word "reactivate" consists of two parts: "re-" which is a prefix meaning "again" or "back", and "activate" which comes from the Latin word "activatus", the past participle of "activare" meaning "to put into action" or "to make active". Therefore, "reactivating" refers to the action of making something active again.
