+ It is to restore something to its former state, to repair buildings and to make good a loss, and to remodel a text, as Cicero did with a draft.^(OLD 2012) Cicero uses it of restoring the common safety and of re-electing tribunes, and Livy of reviving the soldiers' courage at the sight of their general.^(OLD 2012) Above all it is to refresh or revive after fatigue, illness or a defeat; reflexively it is to recover, as Cicero means to stay until he gets better.^(OLD 2012) In money matters it is to make a sum by selling, or to recoup an outlay.^(OLD 2012)
