I encountered the word by remembering what this means. It took me a minute to think about what the word actually meant. I looked up what roused means and it did recall in my mind however I wasn’t 100% sure. After looking at the definition, I put the definition in the sentence in “City Limits.” In “City limits” it says, “ Maybe you were in a cab leaving the airport when the skyline first roused itself into view.”
Example: Peter the valet, who was now wide awake, had roused the doctor.
