Restorative words from fallen person (4-2-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pick-me-up

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'restorative' is the definition.
(pick-me-up is a kind of restorative)

'words from fallen person' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'person' could be 'pi' (PI is an example) and 'pi' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pick-me-up that I've seen before include "A restorative tonic drink" , "Stimulative drink" , "A tonic to restore health or relieve depression" , "Stimulant" , "I could do with a lift" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
