The antonyms for the word "revive" are "kill," "destroy," and "terminate." These are the opposite meanings of revive, which means to bring something back to life or restore vitality, energy, or consciousness. If something is dead or lifeless, it cannot be revived. Destroying or terminating something means putting an end to it or causing it to cease to exist entirely. Thus, while revive is a positive action that offers hope and rejuvenation, its opposite antonyms have negative connotations, symbolizing death, cessation, and destruction.
