risorgimento \ree-zor-jih-MEN-toh\ - 1. the 19th century movement for Italian political unity (usu. cap.) 2. a time of renewal or renaissance : revival
I guessed fairly closely at the second meaning based on the similarity to "resurgence."
perfervid \per-FER-vid\ - marked by overwrought or exaggerated emotion : excessively fervent
Without reading the WOTD write-up, I knew this had to be related to fervid, fervor and fervent. This seems to be the only one of the four not to have meaning related to physical heat.
