the body's full battery showing, before the world remembers to drain it.
means physical or mental strength, energy, and healthy force in action.
from From Latin vigor, 'liveliness, activity,' built on the verb vigēre, 'to be lively, thrive, flourish.' It traces back to a Proto-Indo-European root *weg-, meaning 'to be strong or lively' — the same deep source that, by way of Latin vigil, gives us 'vigil' and 'vigilant' (the wakeful, alert kind of aliveness). English took 'vigor' through Old French vigour in the medieval period.
